PWR STR PMP Fitting Confusion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '67 Chevy C20 with power steering "assist."

Replaced the power steering pump and it came with no fitting for pressure line; told to use old fitting. That does not fit.

Fitting on back looks like 3/8" Male pipe thread - but ITS NOT. Got a 3/8"MIP to 3/8" Male Flare fitting - the male flare fitting side fits the pressure line but the other side looks like it should fit and wants to start to thread --- but obviously a different size or fitting as it simply will not thread.

I see a whole lot of listings for LS engine swaps and the power steering. I do not need that. I have a simple 355 SBC Gen I built & am in process putting back together in truck. Simply need to be able to hook the pressure line back up.

Help?
