First Gen Camaro IROC steering box swap question

[EODtech]

I just purchased an IROC box for my 1968 Camaro. Now that Lee is out of business where can I get fittings or adapters to make my factory lines work with it. I read on David Posi's site that one of the NAPA adapters won't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Luckily I bought mine before he closed down...just havent gotten to use them yet. I read somewhere that someone makes them for a hydroboost set up. Let me see if I can find where I read it.

Talked to Sweet MFG today. They offer adapters to make 6AN lines work with an IROC steering box. I'll try to call Hydratech when they are open. They are only open 5 hours a day and I missed them

There are also press in inserts and I think Borgeson has those like Lee did.

You can also just change out the insert in the back of the power steering pump to the O-ring type that matches the IROC gear box. The inverted flare type and O-ring type share the same internal threads so it is as simple as unscrewing the large hex fitting on the back of the pump that the pressure hose screws into and installing one from an O-ring type pump. This will allow you to use common off the shelf power steering hoses from a 1980-86 square body truck that are long enough to work on a first gen since their gearbox was mounted to the outside of the frame rails. The first design version of the hose is 31" long vs 30" for a stock first gen one. Autozone part #71088 is what I used on my 68. Half the price of the first gen part at only $11.
