Hydroboost hose diagram - final answer

[bronco t]

I have searched a few hydroboost posts looking for proper hose routing, and have noticed there is a number of them referenced using the "wrong" diagram and having to redo the hoses. In the interest of avoiding making these same mistakes I thought I would confirm that the diagram below is the correct diagram.

Do you tee the low pressure together if you do not have a dual return pump?

Yes, and the return hose from the steering box connects to the straight section of the Tee.

Yeah, I found out the hard way too! Referenced two of the most "looked at" hydroboost posts (post count #'s) and figured since all posts were positive that it was correct...not!

Found out that hydroboost will work when the lines aren't correct but not well.. lol

Good point. The good news is that I have a dual return PS pump out of a 77 Lincoln.
