Default power steering question again

hey yall, i have asked what yall have done about your power steering hose before, but i have seen that some people have used a/n fittings to adapt the power steering hose to the gear box! so if any one has done this, espcially on a first gen, i would really appreciate some help. if yall could just let me know which fittings you got from where that would be awwesome! thanks in advance

you can get them from any circle track parts vendor. try lefthanderchassis.com part #'s 162-10124(5/8-6) and 162-10125(11/16-6). these are for the box roughly $20. the pump takes part #162-10122(16mm-6), $10. i think earls and aeroquip make them also.

on my 80 and 86 olds the outer(towards the the outside of the car) is the return and the inner towards the engine is the pressure. i would assume your f-body is the same.
