Hey, I'm putting a LT1 into a 3rd gen T/A and need to know the plumbing on the power steering tank. I know the larger hole on the bottom goes to the return line but what about the smaller one ?.............Thanks

 

The other hose goes to the topmost large port on the steering gear.

 

ok, now i'm feeling really retarded. looking at my 3rd gen steering gear box there are (2) open fitting holes (1) is 18mm(return) and the other is 16mm(pressure), 16mm connects to the pump,18mm goes to the bottom of the resisvoir,but there is still a open nipple on the resisvoir what hooks to it ? wrong resisvoir maybe ?

 

Are you using the LT1 pump?

 

yes, 97 LT1.........

 

Look at this diagram. Item 11 is the fat hose off the bottom of the reservoir. Maybe this will help you to be able to adapt it to your car.

 

So there are 2 connections on the pump itself ? I did not see that nipple on # 11 on my pump, just the opening that seemed like the main pressure hose opening.....

 

A tube in the back for the fat hose (11) and a port in the front, behind the pulley for hose #30.

 

got it.........thanks
