Helping a buddy swap a 5.3 in his 67 Chevelle, engine was from an 04 Tahoe. Do I need to do anything to the PS pump in order to work with the 67's steering box?
Does anyone know of a good source for a high pressure hose?

The pump output is metric and the steering box is standard. You can get an adapter or have a hose made to fit each end. Personally the very best fix is to swap out that Chevelle box for a Jeep grand Cherokee box. Look up jeep steering box swap for Chevelle. It is one of the cheapest and best mods you can do to the old a body cars. Quick ratio steering with a new car feel and metric so you can get replacement hoses at any auto store.

If the Tahoe PS pump gives to much assistance, one of these can solve the flow:

The Corvette PS pump has the least amount of assistance, that was a perfect match with the JGC box on my car (1969 A-body). I just cut and bent the Vette PS line and transferred my old inverted flare connector. Works like a charm.
I know there have been a few threads about matching modern type II pumps with old steering boxes.
