OK,...her it is.
I switched over my 69 Z-28 to power steering...the gear box is a fast ratio box..put the 57/8 pitman arm on it put the hoses to the pump.now...I bought two used pumps along the way....first one was out of a 68 nova 6cly...with the gear box...the second set up was..???...but was a fst ratio box....it was suppost to be 69 camaro but found out it's pitman arm was chevelle or some thing else...her is my question finally.....the fitting on the pump(chevelle?)was a female type fitting.but the hoses I got was female....the nova pump was a male...so I switched the fittings....the two fittings are a little different on the inside..female has a larger diameter with a small side hole in the fitting, and the plunger is flat..the male fitting is a small tube inside(no side hole..)and has a slot cut into the plunger.....I install the fitting with OUT changing plungers...it doesn't work to good now do I just change the plungers around or do I change the pumps back to where they were? what do you suggest...when trying to turn the wheel it seems like it is low on fluid sound...what does the plunger inside do? any and all help will be appriciated...
