@pb4ugo or @Hugh Heifer did you guys also purchase the return line for the same vehicle?

Amazing what happens when you but things in the correct hole. Surprised I have kids.

I’m assuming that the one on the left is the pressure line.

So as embarrassing as it is there might be a possibility that I had the return line and pressure line mixed up. I will send pictures soon to determine.

I use 18W spot/flood LED IP 67 rated lights from Amoron as my back up lights. I just got out some new ones last year that can flash and or turn yellow by turning them on/off quickly with the switch, IP 68 60W - they are NLA now were like $10

My 1st 40, 350, sm420, 4:88's and 36's ran about 60mph at 2800 rpms. I could go faster at around 3k or whatever more, but driving on the highway over time It would end up around 2800 rpm. It was just comfortable crusing rpm. My 2nd 40 has...

@RWBeringer4x4 i have the same box as you. Can you provide me the fittings you used please?

I also need to double check that it’s not leaking at the pump. In the video it was hard to tell because I didn’t have good footage of where the fitting goes into the pump. However you could see it pouring out where it was crimped to the soft...

Or if you have one made that works, get whom ever does it to make a backup. I have had brake lines made here in Rome for my 40 and it was super cheap. But they have to have the right fittings on hand obviously. (I feel like I got lucky as Sisson...

A custom hose would most likely be cheaper, or look in to swapping out the fitting on the back of the pump to a o ring type. It would be nice to buy a hose off the shelf for future replacements.

I’ll check later and see. Honestly I might have to have on made. Hell I even thought of buying another box.

Mismatching is easy to happen. What a PITA. Sorry you are going through all this.

So an oring at the box and a flare at the pump for @cims1970fj40 There have often been some malfųckery in the boxes over the years and it is sometimes a crapshoot what you get in a reman. Once I ended up with the right box but with only 3...

I just looked that # up on r/a cardone 27-6529. That box takes a seal type h/p hose. Its not an inverted flare box. I think later model cj's went to seal type boxes, but i dont know when. Edit: 27-6529 is for a 1976 Jeep J20 and appears to...

Was just thinking out loud. Just from memory the return fitting and pressure fitting on the box are different sizes right?

I’ll have to look tomorrow

Yeah because on the pump side the fitting screws in. Also the longer part of the hardline connects to the box.

Interesting. That is a J20 box - supposedly. That is what I have run with that jeep hose I listed. May be a dumb question - are you sure you are sticking the hose in the pressure and not the return?

What box do you have?

My Saginaw box is mounted out front, I REALLY like the way your steering gear box is mounted in the engine compartment. Had I more youthful motivation and energy, I would do something along this line. On the other hand, @Jdc1 absolutely...

Al- you are going to make me blush.

Cardone 27-6529

So I bought that part today only to find out that the fitting on the box side is bigger in diameter. On the pump side of it it’s fine. Back to the drawing board.

Preference would be rust-free or close to it in red (i think this is Seminole Red in 1970?). I have the rear lift gate already but dont mind purchasing complete. Looking for everything else: sides, fiberglass top, rear hatch crossbar support...

Yes I like that shade of blue also.
