Steering AMC 360 power steering pump leak

[ridge28]

Installed a new power steering pump on my 360 in my CJ5 awhile ago and it's leaking like a sieve at the connection of the high pressure line to the pump. I read on another forum it may be the wrong style fitting between the pump and hard line. Some were flared and some had an o ring. I'm guessing this is the oring style? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, two different connections. One O-Ring and one flare. You need to figure out which one you need to change. Unfortunately, the best way is to obtain the correct hose. In a pinch you can always have an adapter hose custom made.

Actually, now that I look more closely, is the fitting actually tightening up or bottoming out? That is not an O-Ring connection and looks like a flare to flare but not sure if they are the same flare angle. It looks like the flare is not tightening.

Grrr... Well, I spent hours looking at this and I'm going back again. Its a flare vs O-Ring.

Its so hard to tell by the pics without knowing which is which...

I’m working on a power steering conversion on my ‘69 Bronco right now. Same GM Saginaw pump. When searching for hoses, I ran across the thread below and it was helpful.

Saginaw Pump Fittings (missing one I think) updated 17 Mar, solved

See pics. I need the adapter for the pump, gave the old one away with old pump by accident. I believe l have a saginaw end on the hose because that is the end to the pump I gave away I think. Lost, need a clue.

Does anybody know of any specific adapter to go between the 2? I

I'm not sure what adapter your asking for. Its hard to tell from your pics but it looks like a a flare problem.
If its an O-Ring to flare adapter then

Google Search

Was able to get a better picture from the pump side, it's flared.

Almost looks like the 2nd picture you posted, it almost looks like the threads may be gummed up or goobered up and the fitting might not be going in and tightening up ? Threads are good ?
