I have searched and have found some information but not all I'll need for this small job. I wondered if anyone knew for certain what fittings I'd need. The idea is to eliminate the hose clamps and replace the old braided hose with -6an fittings and new braided line. I know its not necessary! I realize that I could simply disconnect the fittings and search around my shop for the right size or take em to the hardware store but id like to get all fittings on hand so i can do this on one shot. The weather is nice and the kids and I are enjoying the truck and I don't want it to be stuck in my shop for weeks until i find time to sort out the sizes. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a chevy hboost (89 suburban I think)
saginaw canned ham pump - the return is a hard line. Not sure there is enough straight section on this hard line to install a tube to -6AN fitting but i could give it a shot i think its a 3/8" hard line?
stock steering box- has a hard line but is attached with a fitting these might be 11/16 -18 inverted flare WH has em
