Cutlass Lsx conversion power steering help? I have a 72 cutlass with factory steering box, how do you go by connecting the ls1 power steering pump to the cutlass steering box. Do i need to get new line and connections or are there a way to convert the ls1 connection to the 72 connection? Thanks 
I had a new high pressure line made at the local hydraulic shop. It was $65.
Cut the inverted flair end off your old cutlass hose. Cut the O ring fitting off the LS PS hose. Put the inverted flair fitting on the cutoff metal end of the LS hose and double flair it.
Or
Remove the output fitting and spring from the cutlass pump, and screw it into the LS pump, reuse the hi pressure cutlass hose.

Very true, but mine didn't leak. I swaped it out when I changed to the jeep steering box, so I think I've still got the old one. It's set up for the truck accessories, but it's free to a good home if anyone needs it.
