64 Power Steering build question
Posted: September 18, 2018, 4:55 pm
Hey guys, new to this forum, first post....
I can not seem to find what I am looking for this particular issue.
I am building a 64, adding PS using a Mustang II rack that TCI supplies with their IFS. It has 9/16-18 high pressure port and 5/8-18 return on the rack side. I am attempting to mate it to a Ford/Thompson style pump (Cardone 96-7058). I have the return hose found and on but having trouble finding the pressure side line to work. The line I'm working with now has a 5/8-18 male inverted flare end and on my pump it is a 5/8-18 male as well. I looked all over and can't seem to find a 90 elbow with 5/8-18 female to female to get them to work (elbow would be best to clear headers). I also attempted to convert the 5/8's ends to -6AN then use a -6AN 90 elbow, but port on the pump is longer than the 5/8 to AN fitting will allow, it will not engage any threads. Surely someone has added PS to our trucks with these two components? Should not be this hard. Thanks in advance for any insight.
