I am nearly there with a Jeep power steering conversion but i still have problems. It is such a pain trying to arrange this a thousand miles from where the parts are easily located. I have been on this for months now

I ordered pipes to go with the Jeep box and the original style pump and I have also got the adaptors from Lee Manufacturing. I have completed most of the installation but have found that the pressure pipe does not match the pump. I ordered the one listed on the website of NPD for a 69 small block set up.

The rest of the pipes/ends seem ok but the pump end is female in the pump and the pipe is also female ? Photos's attached , any idea what i have been sent ? Returning them will be more expense and delays. I could try and source an adaptor if anyone knows what the threads would be ?

you got the correct hose for a 69 with the stock PS pump- either find a different fitting to screw into the back of the pump that has the proper male fitting on it, or order a hose for a 70.
if you just order a hose, make sure you don't have a metric fitting in the back of the pump- you can check this by screwing the flared end of the return hose into it.
