For my high pressure line with my LT1 swap I took a new line from the G body steering side and a new line for the LT1 pump side and joined the two by double flaring each cut end and joining in the middle with a brass union. It has been in service a while now with no leaks but in doing another project i have been researching the do’s and don’ts of power steering and did not realize how much line pressure they can have.
I am still not aware what is and isn’t acceptable as I have read all kinds of opinion and some of it is contradicting. So what is the line pressure on our G bodies and is it ok to use a brass union? (NOT a compression fitting but a union with two double flared hard lines) Being in service as long as it has I doubt it would spring a leak now but just want to be safe. I remember trying to find a hydraulic hose place that could build me a line and I was unsuccessful.
