I read many suggestions on which lines to get for power steering to work on 89-90 models. Some says to get all the lines from 91-94, some says just the high and low pressure lines. But I was reading heavy throttle's web site and heres what they have to say"Since the KA engine was DOHC, the power steering bolts right on with no modifications. If using a SOHC chassis you will need to buy the high pressure 91-94 DOHC power steering line and reservoir to make the power steering work, or have your SOHC line cut and brazed to the rack end. "

http://www.srswap.com/faq/index.aspso which one do I have to get. I have the whole front clip so I should be able to use the reservior and and pump right? if so then this should work for high pressure?http://www.partsamerica.com/Pr...92098and this for the low pressurehttp://www.partsamerica.com/Pr...91517and yes I have search and read every topic about power steeringThanks in advance

you can also modify the sohc lines pretty easily to work. That's what I did with mine...free, easy, and it works. There was a how-to on it but I cant find it anymore.

I cant see the website you linked. It doesnt show exactly what you want, just the beginning of the catalog...

Unfortunately that pic of the high pressure line is only half the line needed. There is a softline (shown in the picture) and a hardline that goes into the steering rack.

In the picture I provided there is the DOHC KA PS high pressure line with that hardline on the left. On the right is just a RHD line bent to work on a LHD car.

Low pressure lines arent too important. I made one shown in the second picture.
