Default Power steering pressure line does not fit, need help

So I am installing my new PSC high volume power steering pump and all is going well. Then I was ready to install the pressure line and found that the fitting in the pump is a male fitting and the fitting on the pressure line is also a male fitting. Suggestions on where I might find a fitting to connect the two?

I am in the process of installing same thing. My line looks the same, and just screwed into my pump. It looks like you need to unscrew the fitting from the pump. I could take picture of mine tomorrow. Is that the PSC pump?

See the threeds in your pressure Ile, and the rubber o ring seal at the end. That screws right into the pump. Stock or PSC.

That is the one thing I didn't try. You might have saved the day.


The pump I have is this one:

I have the same one. You just need to take out the AN fitting and screw the line in.

I just tried that. The AN fitting is larger diameter than the pressure line end.

Here is picture of the fitting from the PSC pump.

Here are a couple of picks comparing the pressure line end and the fitting from the PSC pump. One top view and one with pressure line in front of the fitting from pump.

Mine screwed right out of my stock pump, and back into PSC pump. I will take a picture tomorrow. It might be the wrong pump. Your only other option would be to make a an6 hose up and connect it to the steering gear.

Here is a picture of my return hose I made up to go from my cooler to my reservoir. You could make something like this with a an6 female fitting on one end and a an6 male end on the other end to go into the pump. It is 3/8 inch tubing

Pics with better lighting


The first two are like before comparing the pressure line fitting to the fitting into the pump. The last shows the fittings from the new(left) and old (right).

I tried using old fitting but its diameter is too large to fit in new pump. And tried pressure line directly and that diameter is too small.
