Gm changed from a flared fitting to an o-ring fitting on the power steering lines some time in the early 80's. You can use a stock 1986 power steering hose without an adapter, and it will work just fine.

Another great tip and trick. Such great info. Let's get these fine folks to a million! They deserve it!

You are very helpful! I have been struggling to get power steering on my LS swapped 74, driving with manual steering is a pain, now i can look forward to having power steering! Thanks a million! :D

Seriously appreciate y’all’s channel

Love the LS SWAP VIDEOS

Hi guys, I'm in love watching you do the swap on the LS. I know that this trick work for me a few times. I don't know if it'll work for you but, but I take him the pressure regulator out of an old pump like I have a 68 Camaro and used it in a new modern pump, it worked for me. That way you don't have to use the adapter from summit. I don't know if it'll work for you. I can't hurt the check. If you look for it yourself it's a thought. Thanks again.

Perfect, thank you for the great video!

I’m definitely watching all these swap how to videos and probably rewatch when it comes time! I wish you had a hydro last swap. I’ve got one in the shed and my plan is to put it on the 84

My goodness, I finally found out why my pump whines..changing that return line around tomorrow. Lol thank you sir.

Another great video. Looking forward to the next one. Radiators and fan set ups can be tricky.

Thanks for the video, your timing couldn't be better as I am in the middle of my LS swap.

Excellent information

Omg this helpped so much i killed my pump, i ran the return on the top one

I might be mistaken, but when I looked for this, the part number was CLP, not CPP, on Summit. Great video. You saved me money and headache.

Good job

Question: I have a 97 Vortec 350 in a 85 c10. I have a 6.0 for the 85 but the PS pump has a separate reservoir. Would the PS pump that is on the vortec motor now fit the LS?

Slick way to persuade the tube for more clearance.

Thank you for your video Just became a subscriber here Thank you

And... if you want to give the steering wheel effort a boost-meaning make it feel less easy to turn, or give it more "road feel" by slightly upping the effort required to turn the steering wheel-you can change the flow control valve out to a 2.5GPM, or even a 2.0GPM. They are widely available on the internet and will greatly increase the steering wheel turning resistance. When I swapped my 70 C10 over to LS I found the steering was SOOOOO easy.. Like you could parallel park using just a pinky finger.. Then I swapped out the flow control valve and got the wheel to a point where it felt much more comfortable. It then lost the cruise ship steering wheel feel, and got something closer to like what a performance car, or even the newer import cars, feel like. I LOVE making these modern updates to the older vehicles. And.. if you really want to upgrade the steering, you can use a mid 80's truck power steering box that has fewer turns lock to lock! You can get 3 turns, or less, lock to lock, which is also a great upgrade to the steering. Fewer turns, and more resistance, make for a "tight" steering feeling going down the road. LOVE these old trucks. Great job on the video! You got a like from me!

Thank you very much

I belive you can take the old fitting out of the 350 ps pump and put it in the newer ones to use the flair fitting without an adapter if you have a old ps pump

Doing an 86 4x4 from 6.2 diesel to 02 5.3 Ls holly/edelbrock.. vic jr msd 4016.engine plate and 700r4-208.

Great video. That pre-bent return hose is $34.00 now lol

Thanks

I wish I found this video before I spent $190 on getting a line made. Still turned out great but your way would have probably saved me money on the hose and gas money 😅

What else would I need to do on my 77 C10 that has a manual, non power steering box? Besides the obvious pump and line modifications that you mention?

Hey boss, doing a 79 c10, lq4 swap. I have that hydro boost line on the side of my pump. do i just leave that line disconnected if not where shall i connect it to?

Does anyone know the part number for that CPP fitting? I’d like to do this but go to a 16AN fitting instead of the factory crimped hoses. I just need the fitting size and type that goes into the pump so I can match that to an AN fitting

I have a new pump on a 383 for my 85 square body 4x4 the pump is a flare style I believe and my lines are o ring style. Do they make an adapter for that? I bought the one you mentioned thinking it would work and it does not

I bought that high pressure for my 86 camaro. The fitting that goes into the steering box fits properly except when it bottoms out the hose is still free. Is there a fix for that? It will rotate freely and lift up and down. In the video it said it works with 67-87, are there exceptions to that?

what do you do about the O2 sensors for an LS swap on the new exhaust system?

For the holders you made for the wiring at the front of the oil pan, where did you get the plastic clamp?

Question, what do I do with the vaccum boost fitting I'm not going to use? Just plug it off? If so how?

I’m doing a 5.3 swap on a 1990 Chevy truck is there a big difference between the one your doing and the 1990

Someone told me ls power steering is much higher pressure than older Chevy's. Do you know if this is true?

I like how you show real world fixes with detailed video and parts info. Unlike Simple C10 channel is just making videos to promote the Amazon affiliate links. Its very spammy.

I took my c10 pressure line and put it on the Ls pump. It fits without the adapter. Will it leak or fail with out the adapter?

So, some of these have a solenoid thing and plug coming off the pump that changes pressure wirh vehicle speed or something like that. Can I just take that shit off? I was confused when my line goes in from the front under the pump.

Having issues with my power steering on my swap. Steering wheel jerks around and steers by itself after hooking up the LS power steering pump to my 1983 C10 steering gear box. Do I need a pressure reduction kit installed so it doesn’t do that??

What’s the part number on the O-ring fitting from Summit?

What’s the part numbers on the o ring to flare adapter

I have a question for you guys. What's the cheapest way that I can control a 4l80 in my 92 Sonoma with a small block. Can I do it with the pcm and harness from the doner truck , or do I have to drop like 1200 bucks on an aftermarket tcm?

Have you guys done one with a hydro booster?

Do you happen to have the part number for the metal hose on the return side?

Stupid question. I did my lines the same way you did, so I know they're right. When I first started my engine I forgot to put power steering fluid in (it was empty). It didn't make a single sound. It didn't run but maybe 10min without fluid. I have since filled it and worked my steering from lock to lock several dozen times with the engine off and with it running. I have zero power steering. It's full and doesn't make a peep. Is it a bad pump? I guess Ive never had a pump go bad on an LS with my other vehicles.

Love the video content, just noticed you guys are in strafford, I'm in Fairgrove an doing a 2008 4.8 swap on 79 c10 an could use some help on wiring up the terminator x max, an some other things. Do u have a contact number?

This should work on a 67-72 truck too right?

Are your crimp fittings just pex fitting crimps used on house plumbing ?

Would this be the same for a 6.0 also?

On the pump Which one is pressure ?
