My power steering lines are leaking around the high pressure crimp fitting, apparently I pulled on it to hard on the last engine install
my question is what all do I need to go about plumbing in a new one with new lines.........what fitting and is there a specific hose I should look at? Seems like it would be a good time to put in a cooler as well. How would you go about routing the lines and keeping there? Any hints tips or tricks you guys have learned from doing it would be appreciated, thanks 94 firebird, w/ a 97 LT1 M6 |

Cooler goes on the low pressure side, and barb fittings are fine there. I use a small B&M trans cooler (Summit pn BMM-70265) mounted behind the hole in the fan shroud at lower pass side. get an Earls catalog, good tech: http://holley.com/categories.asp?division=Earls This post has been edited by Blainefab: Nov 3 2005, 08:08 AM |
