I have included a picture from the assembly manual but I don't recall ever seeing a clamp in this place before, any thoughts on exactly what clamp it is and where it goes?
I'm pointing to where I think it should go and it looks like it's an ordinary screw hose clamp bu it have know real idea.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, same one they used in '68. I think someone is offering them for sale new.

Yes, that is the place that holds the return and pressure line as they exit the power steering control valve. It is a screw type clamp however the one that Ford used was a Suretite mark brand that is #16 size. That style of clamp was used on mid 1967 to 70 Shelby's and Mustangs.
