Saginaw Pump to T-bird Rack Hoses
Have a Saginaw pump set up by Borgerson for a Ford rack (mine is an 88 -on T bird rack. These are the people who make the popular pressure reduction kit for the Saginaw pump.
http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/produc...&cat=83&page=1 I also bought my hoses from them which use an adapter to use 6AN fittings at the rack. This adapter is a hex head in brass with a male connector at both ends. One end goes into the rack on top of a washer. The 6AN fitting the attaches to the pump via the other end of the adapter. ...Well, of course, one is leaking. It appears the washer got slightly offset. I didn't know this and when I pointed the leak out to the guy who installed it, he just reefed down on it with a wrench - this apparently makes it worse. Asking around a bit, I'm hearing this adapter can be a weak spot - that it can be a crap shoot whether it works or not. Before I call Borgeson on Monday - is there anyone selling/making hoses that go from a GM/Saginaw pump to an 88 or so T-bird rack?? ...or should I just reinstall the leaking hose with a new washer adapter??
