[Chevelle-list] Power Steering Box

[Crazy Rusty]

I am using a later box and that definitely seems to be the issue.  Instead
of an adapter, can't I just buy the fittings and the 6" hard line?  I
thought that would be easier but then again, I can't seem to find them
anywhere :-)

OOps

  Early P/S boxes did not have o-rings.   Later ones did.  The early hoses
have a flare fitting on the end that mates to a flare in the box coupling.


 

IF you are using a later box that used o-rings, you can buy adapters that
allow the use of early non o-ring hoses.

Most of the fittings in PS boxes use o'rings. Also later boxes have metric
threads. one 18 x 1.5 and one 16 x 1.5.

Hey Everyone,

            I just put on a new (used) steering box on my Chevelle but I've
found that after screwing the two lines in, they move around even though the
bolts are tight.  Is there supposed to be some sort of grommet in there?
With the lines loose, the fluid just comes right out (of course).  Any
ideas? 

 

Thanks!

JB
