I need to know if a standard OEM power steering pump will work with my newly installed rack and pinion steering. This is a 68 camaro. I will most likely replace the pump ( cosmetic reasons ) but want to make sure I get the correct pump. Also, I will replace the stock lines with steel braded lines. Does anyone know the proper size fittings for the rack? I believe the supply side is smaller than the return side. Is it AN or pipe threads? I got rack from TCI -not sure of the brand.

I would contact TCI and ask them what pump they recommend.

Get the right pump or you will have problems. You have to know the rpm range and pulley ratios you are going to run to make the right decisions and a stock pump may not be up to the task or proper functionality.
