End 1 Diameter:    16Mm
End 1 Type:    Swivel O-Ring
End 2 Diameter:    16Mm
End 2 Type:    Swivel O-Ring
Includes Switch Port:    Yes

the return line end fitting.. it uses bulk hose

Part Number:   39104
Description:    16mm Swivel O-Ring Type III (90° Elbow)
End 1 Diameter:    16mm
End 1 Type:    Swivel O-Ring Type III
Shape:    90 Degree Elbow

i would think that both of these could be used to splice together a pair of hoses... with the first one being cut and spliced to a gm pressure line..


oh... and by the way... the long loop that many of these rack pressure hoses have are actually a cooling loop...  as the front of the rack is out in the air flow... just to protect the system from overheating...

someone posted one of the fittings is 14mm.. i have not dug deep into the catalog yet...  there are a ton of part numbers to look through...

by selling the later rack... confusing the issue.. many people will be stuck with their hose kit...

the front suspension really did not change until the 94 year when they went to a new style front suspension.....

I did purchase the rack from Speedway and the fittings are 14mm / 16mm.  Thanks for all of the help.  Jerry

I got your hose list Wayne.  not sure where your post went on this site, but thanks for the great list of numbers for me to carry to the auto house.

Quote from: "Topsterguy"Thanks for all the info Wayne, but after trying the 71180 that the fitting place had it wouldn't fit.........turns out after checking at Speedway they have a kit especially for this combo, and the two fittings in the rack are metric!  The one is 14MM and the other is 16MM, the smaller one being for the feed and the larger for the return. The one going into the pump is a 3/8' flare.  Thanks again tho!  Larry

I have run into the same dead-end.  I purchased my rack from Speedway and started from there.  Problem is I have no clue what 14mm fitting they are talking about.  There are soooo many fittings, I can't make heads or tails of them.  If I purchased the fittings from Speedway, I still have to build a hose to connect to the AN 6 and then to the Saginaw pump.  I really didn't want to go to the AN fittings, so can anyone tell me what the 14mm fitting is?  

Thanks,  Jerry


Hey Jerry!  Believe me, I know the crap you're going thru on these fittings!  Turns out the fittings on the rack are metric - one's 14 mm and the other's 16 mm, and there's no way around it. If you got your hoses from Speedway they should be the right fittings!?? I got my hoses made up the right lengths and with the right fittings. Hope this helps.  Larry

Thanks Larry.  I have figured it out now.  I will buy a set of hoses for the TBird and then one for the GM pump, then splice the pressure hoses together.  I will still be about $30 cheaper than the hose kit from Speedway.  This is the first time I have used this forum, you guys are great.  I hope that I can reciprocate soon.  Jerry
