ok i got a 16mm x 1.5 o ring fitting from a friend to try see if it fit my pump and it does but the only problem is its so close to the pulley on the pump you cant thread a -6 fitting on the pump without hitting the pulley on the pump. is there any other option?

ill post a picture later of the pump.

I went to the junk yard and took some original power steering hoses off a few ls or vortec motors , cut the ends off and used which one fit best . it is tight there . I also used an original fitting off my original box and had a shop nearby make up a hose with the correct ends. JOHN

Look at this post from http://www.pro-touring.com/general/m...747-page3.html post 47. I also plan on using this fitting from Detroit Speed #090401 $18, it is shorter than the the russel brand one. Next post will have another pic (having trouble uploading them to this post).

That's actually a pic from my build thread. As the pic show it does provide more clearance between the pulley and fitting.

Awesome, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the quick reply!!

Would this work? I think it would give me even more clearance and I wouldn't have to remove the original outlet

I got the DSE fitting, although it was better, you can't press the pulley all the way on. It likes .180" to be fully pressed on. I turned me a washer at work that is .1795" and am going to bolt it on the front to insure it doesn't come off and mess up a lot of crap. Between me and another forum member we bought several different pumps and pullies trying to fix this. We both were running procharger LSX transplant setups. Procharger didn't have a solution because the setup was never put in a car they said.

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean you are going to put the washer in front of the pulley and use a bolt in the pump shaft to get the proper alignment? Does the banjo only interfere by .0005"

Yeah, the washer goes on the front and bolt goes in the front of the shaft. No banjo fitting. It's the DSE that's pictured above. I'll try to find the pics showing the fitting in and hose fitting on it.

The link on that other forum to buy the fitting gives me a 404 error. Anyone have a working link?

What pulley did you use?

I'll have to get a pic of mine, I used a DSE pressure/flow reducer fitting in the pump and a -6 x 45° AN fitting from that to the rack...

superdave84

Any chance you know the part numbers of what you used? Or can you post a link?

How about a picture of it?

I was reading through the instructions that came with the GMPP Corvette accessory drive kit and it mentions an adaptor that will work. I can get the part number tomorrow if it'll help.

superdave84

That would be great, thanks!

It was a Billet Specialties valve. I remember buying the DSE valve thinking it was to go into the rack, it didn't fit so I returned it and ordered the BS valve. When that came in (and looked the same) I finally snapped and realized it went in the pump and not the rack. The BS valve has a -6 male outlet and I made up a SS teflon hose with a 45° end to fit. It looks close and was a PIA to get in and tight, but there's lots of room.
