Power steering Question Saginaw pump.

[jtm311]

Hey guys sorry could not find any other place to post this question.

On my 69 Camaro I've installed the March pulley system, the Power steering pump is a saginaw with a female 5/8 - 18 inverted flare I need an apter to go to the female stock hose.(looks like an AN-6)
Anyone know where to buy this?

Few other questions, can I just buy a new hose and are the pressure valves in the pumps the same from the new to the stock Power steering pumps?

Any help would be great.

David Pozzi recommended me the PS lines from a 73 (I believe that was the year I searched for) Nova, as they were male on both ends and it worked perfectly. I have a Saginaw (GM Type 1) pump with a 3rd gen steering box.

Dan thanks, Looks like the 70-72 photos of that hose matches my hose with a male end Now you have me thinking could I not cut the end off and replace it with a male 5/8-18 I have a flaring tool which does a few sizes?

I suppose you could, but I like hydraulically flared lines as it's almost a guarantee of no leaks. And the last thing you want is PS fluid all over your engine bay. I had that happen recently (due to something else), not fun.

Agreed my local auto shop has one of the lines for 17.00 I will pick it up and see how it fits.

Thanks again,

I wanted to update you on this. The Nova line did not fit the Pump side fitting it too large. The good news is I was able to unscrew the pressure valve from the old one and replace it in the new pump.

Thanks,

I checked on what I had, it was a 1974 Nova line.

The 72 might have been different.

Thanks Dan the guys pulled a 73 for me but it looked different. I think they offer two versions in 73. No worries I'm glad I looked at my old pump to see the fitting swapped out.
