Thanks a lot guys. It has been quite the project but well worth it.
For my power steering I used Russell powerflex hose on the pressure side(part #632600). The adaptor for the pump is a 06 x 16mm(648060). The steering box adapters are 06 to 11/16(648050) and 06 to 5/8(640380). And 2 90 degree fittings from the hose to the adaptor(620421). For the other hose I used a standard Aeroquip 06 hose(FCA 0603) and a 90 degree fitting(FCE 4032). It cost me about $100 for all of that. Anything else just let me know. John

Nice, nice car!

That's a great looking gauge package too! I like the in dash ones, as well as the neat console gauge setup.

Good job!

Headers and mounts are from S&P.
I just want to say thanks to all of you. I learned a lot from this site. I could not have done this without you.
And a big thanks to Speartech. He was a huge help.
