Power steering fitting issues

[87mcls305]

Hey everybody I have been working on my project monte for a loooong time lol i have run into a issue with my power steering pump. I bought the chrome pump from ebay thinking everything would work fine but after receiving it i realized that the fitting are different from the original pump. I found out that the new pump is for a 1970-74 monte carlo... Do any of you guys know what adapter i need to make this work or if i have to buy a new power steering hose. Thanks for your time hopefully I can get this resolved.

If you're able to remove the brass insert, the o-ringed hose fitting will fit your new pump.
You may have to tap a thread into it, thread a bolt, and try yanking it out.

Your other option would be to purchase an older style P/S hose with the flared end fitting.

You can also unscrew the hex valve from the pump and swap them out...that's if worse comes to worse.

thanks that might be my final route if nothing else works....ideally I would want to find a adapter to make it work..

Just remove the nut from both and put the old one in the new pump. Easy Peazzy.

Remove the entire fitting and switch it to the new pump. I did it to mine no issues. The threads on the pump side are the same.
