I tried to keep the power steering in my sedan when I put in my b20. But the fitting from a b series pump is different than the sedan power steering hose and won't work. I even tried a b18 pump and doesn't work.

I had to reloop the rack.

I'm having a similar problem. My buddy told me to take in in to a hydrolic shop and have them make hose fitting for the pump. you can give that a try.

youll have to use the b series power steering pump and have a custom fluid line made. orrr ive seen ppl use AN adapters and run a SS braided line from the pump to the rack. earls plumbing makes the fittings. or aeroquip

heres just an option
