Default Steering Rack AN Adapters??

I'm in need of some AN adapters for the stock rack on a 95 Camaro. I'm looking for a -10 inlet and a -6 outlet

If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Have you checked the Russell or Aeroquip catalogs?

I've looked and it says late model o-ring GM racks, but there are 2 different o-ring fittings.

I was just seeing if anyone has ordered fittings and if they had the part #s on hand

Ok I think I found them on Summit, they are calling them AN to metric o-ring adapters and I believe that the inlet is 18x1.5 and the outlet is 16x1.5. Only problem is that the inlet is only a -6 and I was hoping for a -8 or -10. Guess I'll keep looking

i know the ps pump is 16mm and the rack should be the same. -8 or -10 is to big. -6 is perfect. thats what im running for mine and russel makes the ss braided line and fittings for it.

Ok it turns out I'm an idiot haha, the pump I'm getting has a -10 inlet and a -6 outlet, I was thinking the -10 was the pressure side, but thats backwards. Its actually hooking up to the resivour. So thanks for the help, I found the fittings on Summit and Summit also sells a kit with a bunch of fittings and lines, so I'm just going to order that to make it a little bit simpler

But I read that the pressure side is an m18x1.5 and the return side is a m16x1.5, can anyone verify this?

I don't know yet haha, I ordered a m18x1.5 and a 16x1.5 to -6 AN. I didn't get any hoses yet because I want to be able to figure out if I need 90*, 45*, or straight fittings. Those little bastards get expensive after a few of them so I don't want a bunch laying around unused.

So I'll post up during the weekend when I get to test them out.

For the rack ...

For a pump. It appears to be for a Saginaw pump which GM cars have been using since the late 70s. The resrvoir location may've changed, but a saginaw pump is a Saginaw pump. I'd call and ask ...
