OK. So Im in the middle of putting hydro assist on the cruiser. It has the saginaw 76 box mounted to the inside of the frame rail. Anyone know where to port it for the ram? Just looking for some detailed pics. Thanks...

you can do it in 2 diff spots. mine is on the front cap and on the top plate. i think the other spot is towards the rear of the box where agr has the ports.
should have tried this first - http://westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/powersteering.html

I did my saginaw box on my EB. I did a post on pirate4x4 and put some pics and should have some around.
Was pretty easy just drill and tap. Never had any problems and worked very well for me.

I used a new billet cap i bought from Tony K and it came ported already just changed out the end cap to the new one then tapped the top cap for the sector shaft for a 1/8" pipe thread fitting and presto, hydro-assist
Matter of fact i still have both caps now that I'm full hydro.
