Default What power steering line for a first gen s10 with an LQ4?

Hey guys, I have a first gen s10 with an Lq4 in it. I am using the Lq4 power steering pump. I used the stock first gen power steering line and it seemed to thread into the Lq4 pump. It leaks like hell right at the pump fitting where the line screws in. I guess this line wont work.

What line will work with the Lq4 pump and a first gen steering box? Thanks fellas.

there is a 1" wrench fitting on the back of the lq4 pump that the pressure hose goes to. You must remove that fitting and replace it with the original style fitting from your vehicle. You can then run the original pressure hose for your vehicle and power steering rated return hose from the reservoir to the steering box.

I do have the old s10 ps pump. What are the chances that this wrench fitting will be the same thread?

if it is the o ring style line it should just screw into the lq4 unit.
