Power Steering Kit for 1982-88 T-Bird Rack & Inv Flare Adapter

Power Steering Hoses

Our standard power steering hose assemblies are an inexpensive alternative to the more costly stainless steel braided hose kits. This set adapts an aftermarket 1982-1988 T-Bird/Cougar type rack or our 91034340-POW rack to a GM style pump. Return hose will normally need to be cut to length.

The pressure line in this kit has a 5/8"-18 male inverted flare fitting at the power steering pump end along with a -6AN to an 9/16"-18 (14mm-1.5) male O-ring fitting on the rack end.  Note this is an O-ring style sealing design, and not an inverted flare sealing style. It also includes an adaptor so that it can work with an O-ring style (metric) pump fitting. We suggest using power steering pump910-32908 or910-32922-FORD.

Kit includes:

• Adapter for the GM pump, to allow it to work with both metric O-ring and standard inverted flare style threads on the power steering pump fitting.
• The included fittings that will install into the aftermarket 1982-1988 T-bird type rack which are 9/16"-18 (14mm-1.5) O-ring (high pressure) and 5/8"-18 (16mm-1.5) O-ring (low pressure return) with the smaller O-ring fitting hose end being the pressure side for the rack.

Inverted Flare Adapter

If you have a power steering pump using late model style O-ring sealed hoses that you need to adapt to traditional inverted flare hoses, this inverted flare adapter is a simple fix. Simply insert the adapter into the flow control fitting and then install your inverted flare hose.

Use to convert from 16mm o-ring to 5/8" inverted flare style.
