      flare size on steering box?

      Hi, what size flares are used on my steering box?
      I have a Camaro 1973
      I belive it's a Saginaw steering box. the problem is that on DSE's site it says that one flare is 11/16" -18 and one 5/8"-18
      and in classic industries catalog it says 7/16" flare and 3/8" flare. CI steering boxes look the same, but I don't know.

      Please help, I need adapters to fit AN-6 braided lines to the steering box.

      Thanks

      11/16" and 5/8" are the thread diameter. You will need these sizes in order to buy the correct -6AN adapters.

      You can use -6AN for both the pressure and return lines. All you need are the inverted flare - -6AN male adapters. Aeroquip, DSE, and several others offer these parts.

      The Aeroquip P/N's are FCM2964 and FCM2965.

      Aeroquip catalog calls out FB prefix numbers as bulk pack, FC prefixed indicate carded/clam shelled retail products. Depending upon price, Summit may purchase the less expensive part, and therefore the P/N may not show up in their system.

      As long a one pc. is ordered there should be no problem.
