Thread: So, I got this problem, GM pwr steering ???? HELP please.

Tweet

I have a project in the shop. A chopped 51 Merc, originally a 4 door, now a 2 door, on a 1983 Cadillac Deville chassis.

I am putting in a SBC for the customer. It has a powersteering pump with 3 hoses but the Cadillac steering gear only has 2 hoses (one high pressure and one return.

The pump has one high pressure and 2 low pressure hoses. Its the kind that has the filler cap built onto the housing with the pump inside. As far as I know, very standard chevy pump.

Can I eliminate one of these?

As allways, thank you. Couldnt do it without you!!!

Gotta be out of a truck that had a hydraboost brake system...
Since its a return line yes you can plug it...

Yep, it's a pickup pump. Use either return, plug the other one.

You guys are so smart

Thanks much.

Its a matter of perspective. I'm old, your daughter, and mine, are smarter than both of us.

Just give em a little time.

As far as your wife (and mine too for that matter) goes, I think this is the wrong forum for that.
