Does anyone know where i can find a power steering box end cap seal (o-ring) for a stock 69 box? Rick's list a seal but it also comes with an end cap and retainer ring that i do not need , the kit sells for $43.00,hate to spend all that just for an o-ring.

Here's a cheaper kit:

It's for a later model box but the end seal and most other seals are probably the same. The input shaft seal may be different in this kit from yours.

You might find one at a local industrial hydraulic supply house.

David is right, that kit is for later model boxes. But the large end o-ring and several other of the seals will work on yours. The sector shaft seal is wrong and is a seal you really should replace if you're gonna get into the box.

I buy kits from this place - http://www.prosteering.com/k_chevrolet.htm
The #8044 kit will fit 90% of the pre-mid 70's GM cars and trucks - including your Camaro.
You may also want to try Power Brake X-Change in Pitts.PA - 800.580.5729/412.441.5729 - they have lots of steering/suspension parts along with their brake parts offerings.

Hope this helps;
John

Did your p/s box leak real bad or just a drip or so?

I ask because I'm about ready to start using a box that has been on my 67 since probly 67. It hasn't been used for years now. I'm hooking up p/s pump and lines now and am nervous that the box won't work or will leak.
During the time it wasn't used, it had a line connecting inlet to outlet with fluid in the box.
So I have my fingers crossed.

It only leaks one drop at a time,so it's not bad yet.Good luck with yours.

Well I finally have my lines hooked up and am ready to run the p/s pump for its first time.

I'm going to go over it and make sure fittings are tight before turning it.

I'm thinking of doing this with a drill motor so I can just circulate the p/s fluid through the system initially.

I'm running this through a cooler and I can't stop thinking about all that empty line. Nothing but air in there.

Should I turn the pump and let it circulate, with the return line off until the fluid comes out the return line? Then hook up the return line?

Should I then, take off the pump cap, check the level and run it with the front wheels in the air turning the wheels from lock to lock to bleed any remaining air out?

I've never done this and I don't want to do something wrong that will ruin something.
