79 power steering question
So I'm in the mid of the power steering convertion for my 76 F250.

Which port in the intergral steering unit is the high pressure side?

According to this article: Steering Box Upgrade - Car Craft Magazine

The return hose connects to the port closest to the input splines.

Yup, pressure side is toward the front of the truck. You'll know it right away if you get it wrong. Keep you hands AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL when you start it.
