Pump Orifice Pressure Fitting

The Pump Orifice Pressure Fitting (Part Number 301-30093-3) is a flow control valve engineered to adapt GM-style power steering pumps to Ford rack-and-pinion steering systems. This steel pressure fitting handles 2 GPM flow capacity and is finished in natural steel, making it a direct solution for custom steering conversions and vehicle restoration projects that require cross-platform pump-to-rack compatibility.

Designed specifically for hydraulic steering system integration, this orifice fitting manages pressure regulation between dissimilar pump and rack components. The 2 GPM flow rating is optimized for typical light-duty and mid-size vehicle steering circuits, preventing excessive flow that could cause seal wear or system noise. Steel construction provides durability in high-pressure hydraulic environments where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical to preventing leaks or coupling failures under sustained load.

This fitting is essential for fabricators and enthusiasts performing engine swaps, platform conversions, or custom drivetrain builds where original equipment steering components don't match between donor and recipient vehicles. GM-to-Ford steering adapter solutions are particularly common in hot rod builds, off-road conversions, and vintage truck restorations where modern hydraulic steering from one manufacturer must interface with rack assemblies from another. The compact dimensions (1.55 × 1.55 × 4.25 inches) and lightweight design (0.2 lbs) allow installation in tight engine bay configurations without requiring extensive rework of steering lines or mounting brackets.

Each pump orifice pressure fitting is sold individually, allowing builders to source the exact quantity needed for single or multi-vehicle projects. Proper installation requires correct orientation and secure coupling to ensure pressure integrity throughout the steering circuit.
