hydroboost and a saginaw pump

I am in the process of upgrading my braking system on my 91 F350 CC. It has a 7.3 non-turbo. I picked up a hydroboost system from an 89 F450 including the master cylinder and hardware but the power steering pump was gone. I have been doing research on here about the needed pump with addition inlets for the hydroboost but I have not been able to find anything about using a saginaw pump with the hydroboost system.

So does anyone know if a saginaw style pump was produced that has the extra input for the hydroboost system?

If so, any idea what year, make, model or part number for one?

Thanks
Mark

As far as I am aware the extra hose is just another fluid return line so can be "T`d" into the other return and so you can use the existing pump or whatever.

That's what I had thought but I had read some people had negative oppinions on "T'ing" into the single return.

Anyone have any experience with this or using the saginaw pump with a hydroboost?

Thanks Mark

Found it

Well for once I was actually able to answer my own question. Here are some part numbers I located for a saginaw pump with two return lines stock. These were listed for a '78 Ford LTD

A-1 CARDONE Part # 208607 w/AC
ACDELCO Part # 36816002
A-1 CARDONE Part # 208606 w/out AC

These were for hydroboost equiped vehicles.

Hope this helps someone down the road!

Good post. I am stupid, I should have suggested that you scroll up a bit frome here to the pre-powerstroke page in the Diesel Section. They would love to hear from you and many of them have done the conversion you are planning. Good luck.

I had thought about posting there but I didn't want to put it in the wrong area. I spend a lot of time in there reading and learning, good info all over on this site!

Thank
