Default LS1 Power Steering pump thread for AN lines

Hello everyone, I'm doing a ls swap and planning to make some power steering lines. I'll be using high-pressure PTFE lines up to 3000psi working pressure. The problem that I have, is that I don't know what the thread is so that I could purchase an adapter to an -6. The power steering pump is designed to work with Camaro, Pontiac, Firebird 1998-2002. Ill post a picture of the power steering pump. The size thread that I need is where the yellow plug is.

Appreciate the Help

Most of those are a Saginaw O-ring fitting.

What did the pump supplier have to say about it when you called and asked?

Found it already. For anyone that will need it in the future it’s m16x1.5 . I screwed in my oil pressure sender into the thread and it went in just fine. Here is a link to the adapter that allows to run a an-6 line .

FWIW,, Parker makes all stainless fittings, with their industrial hose that is specifically for HP hydraulic use.
Its a braided stainless hose with a heavy black cloth like cover. The fittings are DIY assembly with the hose.
The fittings are $$$$$ but they are very strong and perfect for steering or transmission cooler applications since its a
hydraulic fuid specific design. (You would still need an occasional adapter or special fitting for the Saginaw of the fittings that fit the cooler loop in a radiator.
