This custom CNC-machined brass adapter lets you connect a late-model LS power steering pump to 1979 and older GM-style 3/8-inch tubing eith inverted flare power steering line s. The thread size is 5/8-18.
The adapter threads directly into the high-pressure flow valve on 1980 and newer GM power steering pumps. This allows you to keep and use older factory-style inverted flare lines with your LS power steering setup.
A Viton O-ring is included for a secure seal.
Fits Gen III and Gen IV LS power steering pumps, including:
-
Corvette
-
Camaro

If your O-ring is old and hard, use the following part number for replacements: GM 26001594
DO NOT use any O-ring you find at the parts store. The Metric O-Ring fitting requires an O-Ring made of Viton so the power steering fluid doesn't destroy them.
O-Ring Technical Info: 903 (7.65mm ID x 1.63mm C/S or .301 ID x .064 C/S) Viton
Make sure there isn't an O-ring already in the power steering pump from the old line!

ALUMINUM: Most of the aluminum alloys used today contain some level of lead, usually less than .1%. Lead is known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Most aluminum alloys are physiologically inert in their solid form, and the lead is contained within, however user-generated dust and/or fumes may pose a hazard if inhaled or ingested. Heating beyond a certain temperature may also provide avenues for exposure.
