Product Details
Features
- Adapts -6AN male flare hose to 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare, pressure-side port
- Fits pre-1980 Saginaw P-series pumps and gearboxes only
- Not compatible with GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps' metric O-ring ports
- Aluminum construction rated for high-pressure power steering fluid systems
Description
This -6AN male flare to 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare adapter connects -6AN hose plumbing to the pressure-side port on pre-1980 Saginaw P-series power steering pumps and gearboxes. It's built for custom high-pressure steering hose assemblies and P-series pump conversions.
This is specifically the 5/8-18 inverted flare thread used on pre-1980 Saginaw P-series equipment. It is not the fitting style used on GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps, which use metric O-ring ports (16mm/18mm) instead. Confirm your pump or gearbox generation and port thread before ordering, since P-series and Type II pumps are not interchangeable in port style.
Applications
Fits GM muscle car, truck, and hot rod power steering systems using a pre-1980 Saginaw P-series pump or gearbox with a 5/8-18 inverted flare pressure-side port.
Installation
Threads directly onto a matching 5/8-18 SAE inverted flare port on one end and -6AN hose on the other. Confirm your pump is genuinely pre-1980 P-series, not a GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pump, since the two use different port thread standards entirely.

Q&A
What does this fitting adapt between?
This adapter fitting converts a -6AN male flare connection to a 5/8"-18 SAE inverted flare connection, allowing a -6AN hose to connect to the pressure-side port on compatible pre-1980 Saginaw P-series power steering pumps and steering gearboxes.
Will this fit a GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pump?
No. GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) power steering pumps use metric O-ring ports rather than the 5/8"-18 SAE inverted flare connection used by this fitting.
How do I know if my pump is a P-series or Type II?
Saginaw P-series pumps are the older design typically equipped with an integral "canned ham" style reservoir and SAE inverted flare ports. GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps have a more compact housing and use metric O-ring ports. Verify your pump style and port thread before ordering.
What is this fitting made from?
This fitting is manufactured from lightweight aluminum and features a durable silver finish for corrosion resistance.
