3000, 4000 power steering pump lines question

[aircrue]

In the process of restoring my 75 4000su, and upgrading the metal pump lines with hoses, (wish I had taken a pick of that) and cannot find any info as to which side of the column the supply and return lines connect to the power steering box. Is the return on the left or right of the box? Brother already scrapped the old lines, or I'd have figured it out that way.

I'd take some pics of my 72 4000SU and post later.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

As of now I'm thinking the pump return line (rear center fitting)goes on the right side of the column, left to the pressure (lower front) side of the pump.

That's what the parts drawing shows.

Thats correct and how they're attached on my 400SU

Thanks! This helped me sort it out. Working great now!

For future reference:

Pump Lines:
Right Side Column- Return (back of pump)
Left Side Column- Supply (lower pump)

Steering lines:
Lower Column port- Inboard lines
Upper Column port- Outboard lines
