Just let me know if you want any more pics.
P.S. I just remembered there some more pics of the steering box on my web page. The link is in my signature. See the page on assembly.
Just in case you don't have the info, you do have to enlarge the original hole in the frame rail for the sector shaft. It sits a little more forward and down than the original manual steering box. Just need to trim enough for clearance.

I had a request for a picture of the mounting bracket I used so I placed some more pics in a new album in my gallery called Toyota Power Steering.

I haven't hooked up the box to a pump yet. Mid Fifty shows the port next to the frame is the high pressure port. My instructions were very easy to follow. The bracket is almost self expanatory.

That is correct, the port closest to the frame and smaller in size (16mm) is the high pressure. The one towards the engine is 17mm and is the return line. I could not use any of the std hose kits because of interference between my header and the return line. I finally found a set of low profile fittings and stainless braid hoses from Gotta Show. They even made them a custom length for me.
From all the complaints I've heard, the strap metal bracket is junk. The solid barstock one like MF sells works very well.

Hose size
On the stainless braided hose set I have from Gotta Show, both hoses fit in both ports. Just put the small diameter hose on the high pressure port on the side closest to the frame and the larger diameter hose on the other port. If you look at the pics on my web page I have them installed backwards. I just went out to the garage and swapped them around. A link to my web page is in my signature.
