Hydraboost install -- question about the PS pump
OK - have convinced myself to make my own lines I think. See link below for norval's recommended Russell fittings.
I got it figured out for coming out of the booster as far as what I need.
However....Question: What goes into the power steering pump? specifically, what type of adapter is needed to go into the pump? Can I use the same 16 mm and 18 mm adapters, or what? Don't want to take the pump apart yet to check on what is needed. If anyone can point me in the right direction, much appreciated...
edit....OOOPS. Wait - I got to make a line from the HB unit to the steering control valve. So, what is the input fitting to the steering control valve...that is the other question I shoulda asked....
Summit parts list....

All the 70's OEM stuff was either 3/8 or 1/4 inch double flare, I"m sure the pump and steering valve input are 3/8 double flare, steel....
I have a later l98 serp drive/pump so the outputs are differant than stock, and still I had to adapt to the rack I previously installed, and then my switchover to the HB unit was much easier, as the stock lines fit damn near perfectly...just swap them around....
now, that also included use of a 3/8 brass compression union from plumbing at Lowes Despot.....the first one been on the car over ten years now, and the second one shortened some steel line end on an OEM hose due to HB....they work fine...
