I'm getting ready to install the high pressure hose on my power steering setup.
I don't have much experience with power steering.

The steering box is a rebuilt stage 3 from Steer and Gear.
I also picked up a new low pressure return nipple and adaptor fitting for the steering box.

I used the 2 included O rings when installing the low pressure return nipple on the steering box but over the years I think I might of misplaced or mixed up what ever is needed for installing for the high pressure hose.
I have an O ring and a crush washer but both appear too big.


What do I need on the hose adaptor fitting on the steering box? O ring? crush washer? thread sealant? any idea what size?

The power steering pump is a Saginaw tombstone type.
Do I need anything for the high pressure hose connection to the rear of the power steering pump?
how about the high pressure hose to the steering box adaptor?

Thanks. :twothumbsup:
