Replace the vacuum booster with a hydro booster which many of the new cars are using now. The high pressure line from the power steering pump first go's to the high pressure side of the hydro boost unit and exits out to the high pressure inlet in the steering rack. The line that exits from the steering rack is the low pressure return to the power steering pump. Also the hydro boost has also has a output low pressure line that tees to the same return line from the steering rack to the power steering pump. I mounted the reservoir up high next to the hydro boost that also tees into the low pressure return line. If a person uses a hydro boost braking system, you do not need a vacuum source. If you this type of braking system, make sure you use the same DOT brake fluid that goes into the brake master cylinder if you use the same brake lines. My EV uses DOT3 brake oil for a 1977 vehicle. I got my hydro boost from a friend of mind that owns a savage yard. There was only one vehicle which was a 84 jeep that had one in it. I took it out my self plus the all the hose with it and works very good in my EV and only cost me $50.00. You can get a overhaul kit for these hydro boost if needed. Bolted right up to the fire wall in the same area where the vacuum booster was. There web sites that shows how to do this conversion. They use all new parts which cost them over $1000.00 and they had to replace the power steering pump and hydro boost unit with a higher pressure one. The CANEV electric power steering pump works find. It has a rating of 1000 psi, my 77 El Camino only needs 778 psi.
