power steering line

what power steering line yall using on your swaps thanks for any help

[mej005]

I was able to use the stock lines with the stock pump, but my truck is an 81. I think 72 and older you can swap out a fitting on the back of the power steering pump and use your stock lines also.

I flared the correct fitting onto the line.

For those of you that used the stock lines, did you use big block or small block power steering lines. I tried to reuse my big Block power steering line, but no amount of adjusting will get it off the exhaust manifold Heat shield.

Mine had a big block in it. I had to carefully straighten the line tha run it under the frame in front of the cross member. Kind of a pita but it should work

Small block PS hoses work better.

i have the same question only im running the ls1 power steering pump and need to connect that to my steering box my truck is a 79 aybody have any idea where to get the proper hoses

[jorgensensc]

Wait wait!! I can answer that question!! Just unscrew the fitting off of the power steering boxes and swap them. That's what I did. Then you can use the stock power steering hose for the '79.

If your running a Camaro or Corvette LS1 pump....There is no "bolt-on" hose out there....

Power steering pumps/Accessory layout are body line specific, Using car engines in trucks has drawbacks....Like custom power steering hoses.

I used these parts to build my own...

Updated Quantities and Part Numbers:
2 ea -6 to 90° hose ends (RUS-620421)
3 ft Russell power flex hose (RUS-632600)
1 ea -6 90° swivel hose end (SUM-220687B)
3 ft Summit -6 braided hose (SUM-230603)
1ea EAR-991947ERL -6 TO 5/8-18 (box)
1ea EAR-991950ERL -6 TO 11/16-18 (box)
1ea EAR-991955ERL -6 TO 16MM X1.5 (pump)

Note: I didn't use the full 3 feet of either hose, cut and fit them how you like.

If you go to Napa and get fitting 1446 and screw that into the back of the pump you can use the stock line. I paid $10 for the fitting.

Probably only on a truck pump. The LS1 pump on an F body the line comes out the side and is a completely different fitting. What I've done in the past was to use the Camaro line and cut the rack end off and flare it, then cut and flare the original line where it goes to the box and connect them together.
