Hey all,

Got a quick question about the power steering pump / pressure hose on my 90 GT.

I’m having trouble getting the correct PS hose that runs from the pump to the rack.

I’ve ordered a few different ones from the various online parts houses (LMR and CJ’s) and they all seem to be to small from the size of the hole on the pump itself.

Am I missing a fitting at the pump?

Is it possible that I have a pump from an older year fox on my car?

For context, the motor has been out of this car for about a year so now and I’m just starting to get things together.

Image attached for reference.

thanks for any advice

-Justin

You are missing the fitting that screws into the pump body.

I’ve never actually seen that fitting available separately. Perhaps you can find one on eBay.

Here’s a closeup off my ‘88s pump

Thanks!
Dang, I didn’t realize I pulled the whole fitting out when I took this thing out like a year ago.

Unfortunately no. I saved pretty much every nut, bolt, clamp and hose from this engine swap but it looks like these are gone. ‍

Realize I can just buy a new pump, but I have been trying to just get this thing ready for it’s first start and was hoping to not have to spend money on a p/s pump.

I just checked my stash of parts. I have 4 old pumps all with fittings. If you want the fitting pm me your address and I will send it to you. You probably would get it by Saturday.
