Saginaw Power Steering Pump Conversion problems.... AGAIN!
Finally got the bolt situation under control.....
I had the local industrial hydraulic shop make me a new high pressure line.. a little spendy ($40 bucks), a little too long, but I can make it work... As I try installing it today, A NEW problem arises!
I was going to use the fitting that originally came with the pump (yanked from a late 70's/early 80's Ram) to save a little money... The curvature of the line bumps into the engine bracket.. BAHHHHH! I'm about :cheers: this close to selling this car and buying the complete and running Mustang down the street :)
Just kidding...
Here are my pictures... Do you think I could just buy a 90 degree fitting, (size 5/8", right?) the end of the hose has a crush sleeve thingymabobber.. the intent was so i could use the old fitting/tubing.. i could theoretically get that new fitting, use some of the old tubing, and be done, right? RIGHT?
I drew an arrow showing where it would hit if the fitting was installed...
Here is my new shiny hose...
