I posted this over on Camaros.net, but haven't gotten a response yet.

I have an actual IROC box, not a rebuilt (Lee, Cardone, whatever), so I NEED the lee fittings?

I plug the Lee fittings in and I can use the stock 1967-69 Power Steering Hoses?

^^These are the hoses.

The Manual Steering Pitman Arm is NOT compatible?

^^That's the correct rag joint?

What vehicle can I get a pump from that will work smoothly with the Lee Fittings? (Will fit properly/correct sized ends) Would a stock 69 pump work? Any other vehicles? Will any Saginaw pump work? I'd like to use this bracket (scroll to the bottom, second up from the bottom)...:

I'm trying to make this swap as painless as possible, with all simple parts, nothing custom made (IE lines that have custom made ends for the iroc box and whatever pump).

there is an entire sticky on this at team camaro. I think you can get adapters/fittings at your local napa.

I think that box uses metric fittings. My IROC box had the original lines still attached, so I just went to the industrial fittings shop and purchased a SwageLok (I believe 3/8 to 3/8") tubing fitting rated for 3000 psi. I spliced it into the original P/S hose and it's been on the car for 14 years.

I know, I read through it twice, but I don't really understand a lot of it, lol. Thats where my other post is, last page, 4th post down.

16 and 18mm, but I believe they say on Camaros.net that they use o-rings.

What size are the stock first gen lines?
