O-ring to AN fittings/hydra-boost/power steering Ive put the hydra boost valveing on my 71 chevelle and want to run braided hose to the pump. Looks like I need an o-ring fitting in the pump to go to AN hose. Where do I need to go to get them? Ive looked all over. Or is there a better way. Thanks ..

A guy on ebay has all 3 fittings for $28 shipped and they are steel. He also lists the sizes so you could theoretically go to the local hydraulics shop and get them yourself. IMO $28 isn't too bad.

The ones at Summit are aluminum. I don't know if that really matters but I am going for the steel ones. I emailed them about a complete set. I have a Grand Cherokee box on mine and hydroboost with the Vette pump.

I don't buy much from Summit or Jeg's because I live in Ohio. Between the handling fee and tax I can shop on Amazon and compare prices online and get better deals. A lot of times you can ask ebayers and they will make you a deal on several items.

If budget is in mind, I used 96 Astro hoses on mine. I did have to tweek the metal portion to get it to fit. I'm running a 2005 Corvette LS2, vette accessories, Grand Cherokee Gearbox, Astro Hydraboost with a firewall adapter I purchase from someone on chevelles.com. Purchased the hoses from rock auto for around $20 (found them on clearance). Hoses bolt right up to pump, box, and hydrabooster....no adapters needed.

Your setup looks awesome. Do you have more pics of the engine bay? I was planning on something similar with the PCM on the pass side firewall. I am smoothing it and doing vintage air.

This is the only other picture I have now. (I actually changing up the air intake right now). I'll try to post up more pics this weekend if you'd like, really haven't finished the engine compartment yet. When I paint the car, I think I'm going to paint the inner fenders the same color as the body and hide to wiring harnesses that run to the front of the car behind the fenders.
I used an Old Air Products AC system which comes directly through the firewall. My PCM is mounted inside the car behind the passenger side AC kickpanel. I wanted to keep it hidden and my modified 'vette harness was the perfect length to mount it there.
