1982 convert to hydrobooster
Alright I have been reading a lot about switching over to a hydrobooster instead of a vacuum booster I've been wanting to do this for a while now and I am going to start getting the parts like a booster from a 90s Astro van and a master cylinder from a 77 and earlier Corvette but I do not understand how it hooks up to the stock power steering pump or what other lines are needed to complete this could someone shed some light on this for me thank you

the return line is a bit of an issue....I understand....I have a T fitting in mine, but I have serp drive and a external p/s pump reservoir....so no comment except to say that there are GM pumps like yours with a dual return line to the pump.....try the T line first the HB return through the top of the T straight, and the p/s return in the stem of the T.....
