power steering help So I'm swapping in a lq4 into my 72 Camaro and I'm tryin to figure out how to get the ps working. Looks like there are 3 lines coming out of the pump? Where do these lines go? And I'm hearing something about metric adapters needed? Any help would be great. Thanks

I took the answer below from a response to the same question I had as well...
Plug the unused return, use the lower port.
The high pressure fitting on the back of the power steering pump can be unscrewed and swapped. You can use your original hoses then.
Or you can use the metric hose, cut the end off that goes to the box, put on an inverted flair fitting and double flair it.
Or theres a company (Lee?) that makes an insert to allow you to mix fittings.
Or you can get metric/inverted flair to JIC adapters (Speedway motors) and make your own hose.
