I have a 87' Chevy truck with a Dana 60 front axle. It came with a hydro assist steering setup. My question is: the box is tapped in the end cap and the top cap, how do I plumb this to the hydraulic cylinder correctly( which way is right or left?). Any help is really appreciated, I have to have new lines made and I don't want to spend the money twice.
 
If I recall correctly the end cap side is for right turning:

I went out and looked at my K5, it has push-pull steering but crossover works the power piston the same direction, so this is it. Really wish people would not tap the cap, it's not made for it (cap is fairly thin).
 
I have a spare 2wd box, I've done some searching but haven't found tap locations for an outside chevy mounted box. Thanks for the information this should get me by for the time being!
 
End is to the right, top is to the left. That's how I have the box on my K30 done as well.
