This pressure hose does fit this pump, however, it looks like a regular flared fitting.

Yep that's inverted flare. In my notes I have me using: Pressure - Edelmann 70917. I made the return line.
But I have a small block chevy, short water pump brackets.

I will get one of those and try it.

How did you make the return hose?
Would I need an inverted flare tool?

You know I think I found the "pig tail" from the box end from inline tube. It didnt fit very well so I had to adjust the bends, so much so I creased the tube. So I had extra 3/8 tube around and made my own. If I had to do it over again I'd use copper nickel. Yes you have to have a crimper. I have a hydraulic unit I purchased on a previous build, love it. My hose section (from my notes) is Edelman 71236.

71236 is the return hose?

Yes I was discussing the return hose.
LMC shows the pig tail section item #6 here: https://www.lmctruck.com/1967-72-che...ing-components

So, if my 3/8 tube fitting is 0.61" (OD), would this be a 7/16 fitting?

And, the tube in the pic is not called an inverted flare, is it?

Throw that away, its not for your box.
The picture in your post 26 is the type if fitting.

Well, for the bracket and power steering pump installed; just gotta get a belt that will fit.
Hoses seem to fit well too.
