Anyone know what the pressure side hose fitting size is on a first gen dakota 2wd.

Tried a Russle 5/8-18 to AN fitting bUt the o-ring seat is about .100" short of seating, and the threads are a bit loose. I'm connecting to a gen III hemi pump, so a factory replacment hose for the dakota is not a sure bet, and I already have the rest of the braided hose assembly. .. thanks in advance

I promise the ps hose fitting on the Hemi will not match up with anything older. You may be a lot farther ahead to use the end from the Dakota and have the hose custom built.

I have a couple 91 Dakotas here, but I have no idea how one would identify what size the fitting is. I believe the fitting on the rack is a removable fitting, maybe it can be changed with something else? I'll look tomorrow if i get a chance. Gene

The answer is 18 mm x 1.5.
