Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Chad for watching, progress looks good on your truck
Been in contact with Petersen fluid to make a new power steering canister, don't want to use a 'T' fitting, so I'll add another -6 fitting to the can for the return. Drawing should be done Friday, and about a week to build, if the drawing is correct. They told me the fitting inside should have a bend, so to swirl the fluid and allow the air to separate. My plan is to mount it on the prop. valve bracket |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Here's a drawing of the new can, should take about a week to make

Re: PO has me PO'd
Ok, been awhile, not sure if this location is high pressure port, any help?

Re: PO has me PO'd
That's the right port for high pressure. I just checked mine for confirmation.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Ordered my remanufactured power steering pump from NAPA yesterday, arrived this morning 8 am, 40.00 w/ core.
[url=https://flic.kr/p/ErW6Bx]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1683/...f5f76d25_c.jpg[/ Just have to make up some hoses https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1583/...b77bfe93_c.jpg Found a fitting supply that doesn't know the meaning of " not in stock". Pure choice motorsports, needed a an -6 female swivel to 90 degree bend 3/8" push on barb, for the low pressure port on the steering box Also, my SS socket head cap screw are about 1/2" long for the mount, so I'll have to get some shorter ones |
Re: PO has me PO'd
This is such a great build, learning a ton from it. Thanks Jim!

Hope you get that driveshaft worked out... since a shop did the lower, can you have them address it My new thoughts are tending to the steering knuckle |
Re: PO has me PO'd
If you don't mind my asking, what is the application or part number for that PS pump?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Sure captain, 1972 350 cu. in. GMC jimmy and pick up
NAPA's part #38-5141, I bought mine w/o tank, you can get either way. No pulley and no mount, but was an exact match to mine. My pulley had a key If you get yours w/o tank, make sure you keep your mounting bolts for the tank, as it doesn't come with them, but does include the pressure port fitting |

Re: PO has me PO'd
:devil::dum::dum::dum::no:SNAFU.... kinked the braided SS hose

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks for the info. I would have thought that, that application would have originally came with an integral reservoir, not a remote reservoir.

Most people don't realize how tedious all the plumbing and wiring work is. Keep it up.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks AJ for following along, you're rite about tedious. Set back with the kink kinda deflated my balloon.
Upstate NY right now, grandkids and an old wooden boat are taking up my time at the moment. My son has me working on the wiring harness, like I don't have enough of my own... Didn't post up any picks of my fish this year:lol: |

Before I left, had a few moments to work on my low pressure return hose |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Changed up a little from hydrotech, bango runs a little tighter than the 90 degree bend, also swivel. part # from pure choice is 11810
Also, tank should be here in a week from Petersen https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1623/...73343e6c_c.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Also started to work on my anti-freeze overflow tank, converted w/s washer tank, bracket bought from Roger Koop-aux. battery

Nice work Jaro! too bad about kinking the stainless braided line. Those aren't cheap either. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of install on the Hyrotech boost setup

Re: PO has me PO'd
Installed the last of the high pressure hoses, swivel makes it much easier as you don't have to worry about the orientation of the fitting when assembled. I highly recommend using them on any hose application. Also, I use grease on the threads of the fitting when I swage it up

Re: PO has me PO'd
Mocked up my tank, 2 1/4" 6061 x1/2" will be in today from mc master Carr.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1518/...d6a6dc4e_c.jpg Now I can work on my return hoses and supply to pump |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Ordered aluminum 4 pm, on my doorstep 10am, nice pulls up tight against a square flat and the two bosses for the bolts. Just need to buy 1/4" longer bolts

Re: PO has me PO'd
Dropped the radiator off at the welders shop, had to enlarge the outlet to 1 3/4", since that was the inlet size of my electric water pump. He also put a bead on the tube with his roller. Now, I can start working on the cooling system again
One more line to hook up on the hydro boost -10 return line, parts s/b here Monday https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1519/...11164d64_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/FASaQ8]WIN_20160423_110154 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1479/...3502d178_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/FASaQi] |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Finished up the last of the return hoses -10, after you install the crimping nut/collar in soft jaws in your vise, make sure your wrench doesn't extend below the nut you are tightening, it will gall the collar if you are not careful. But, you can touch up with a magic marker
If I didn't mention before, lubricate the threads, I would hate to gall the threads halfway up the crimp This Russell pro classic II hose is much easier to use then braided stainless, b/c you can rotate fittings to get alignment after crimping is done https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1483/...a200751c_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/GuSF7S] https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1577/...d5a0e74e_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/GuSN5E] Ok, off to the next mod. Probably mounting computers in glovebox |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Had some time to source out some radiator hoses today, shop worker allowed me to check out his inventory. First pick was exactly right for my purpose, like was made for a 72 jimmy w/ an aluminum rad w/ a 1 3/4" outlet. Cut off about 5 inches from the 90 degree side and added a mandrel bent 45degree aluminum tubing, have to take the tubing back to my welder to have a bead put on it

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jim. Good write up on your power steering plumbing for me. I too am going to run that Hydratech unit and a remote fluid reservoir.

Which m/c are you going to use? Remote tank is supposed to be no further away then 13" so keep that in mind Also, tell Jim you want a banjo fitting instead of the supplied fitting that comes with the kit |

It's been a month Jim. What's new?

Just had a couple minutes to post up picks of a couple tools I just bought one is a pusher for barbed hose connectors, the other is the hose clamps I will be using on my radiator hoses
