67 skylark power steering Looking for some help with my project. I'm putting a 98 ls1 in my skylark and need help with the power steering hoses.I would like to get AN fittings for the steering box and pump and then just run braided hoses. not sure what the fitting sizes are for the box and pump. i'm running the corvette pump with remote resovoir. Any help would be great.
The approach your taking is probably the most expensive and unreliable. But if you want to go that direction Speedway motors has adapter for metric O ring (pump) and inverted flare (box).
Also note, lots of standard AN hoses are rated around 2000 psi, which is about the same pressure as your pump. Quite a few failures of the aluminum fittings. Speedway motors sells hoses and steel fittings specifically made for power steering.

Just an FYI, my LS motor came with the high pressure PS hose attached. I also had the old GM hose on the PS box. I cut the box end of the metric hose, removed the inverted flare from the old hose, put it on the metric hose, double flared it. Cost $0, took 5 minutes, worked fine.
