you can see the pressure line going back to the solenoid in this pic. the line comes out of the PS pump and runs along the top of the valve cover, it's oversprayed white (by the previous owner).
Nothing like that on mine. But as 63ford406 says, this was apparently on the 289s (and possibly straight 6's) only. I have a 390 FE in my Galaxie.
