Bypassing The Steering Box With Hydroboost.

[dhdescender]

I need to bypass my steering box from the Hydroboost lines. Heres a picture of how the system works:

Do I simply cap off the high pressure line coming off the booster as in this pic:

I'm going to have my stock Caddilac pump drive my Hydro assist steering, and use the stock hydroboost pump soley for braking duties.

I wouldn't know of any reason that wouldn't work. Never messed around too much with my hydro boost but it seems that is all that would be necessary.

I would say the line you capped would have to go as another return line to the reservior or the pump will put full pressure against it

Yep, you have to run that line to the resevoir as a 2nd return as MJ said. Thats the way mine is setup and it works just dandy.
