flared power steering lines on my 82 ??
ok i was putting a power steering pump on the 82 just now and went to the trouble to swap the outlet pump fitting to an O-ring type one and well i looked in the fitting outlets of the steering box and its flared and not the 80 andlater o ring type ?
what the heck ?
its box #7826692
i have never seen an 80-later GM with anything except O ring type and i have owned and worked on a billion cars trucks vans over the years
very odd !??
help ?
now i gotta start all over again dammit
what a PITA
also, i know that 79 and older are probably SAE fitting threads
i was reading this thread and they say that these '80's ones are metric threaded ??!

Re: flared power steering lines on my 82 ??
well i happened to come across an old basic water pump cradle type pump and lines setup that i had in my parts stash -and it mounted pretty well and the lines clear everything pretty well as well
i still would like to learn about this 80 and later flared end fitting deal, why an 80 and up would have flared fittings, when none are supposed to
hmm
thanks

I just took a look in the 82 Camaro Factory assembly manual. All the power steering fittings shown are flared nuts. I have no idea if they are SAE or metric though.
