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 |

If you go with the stock pump then I think you are limited to a regular push on and clamp it hose. I'd have to check out the pump, but I think that you -may- be able to get the bib removed and have the pump tapped by a machinist. Then you could use whatever thread you like and use AN or whatever you like. If you go with the aftermarket pump I think it's already plumbed for AN-6. Either way you use another of those xrp37123 fittings on the rack. I have that item listed as 2@ on the parts list.
I think I have that all right. Jason |
