Quick Saginaw question

[mustardfj40]

On a Saginaw ps box, which is the pressure port which is the return port?

Thanks.

The port with the larger diameter, located towards the body to the lower left if the box is mounted in the vehicle. the smaller port located outwards to the input shaft is the return port. at least that is how mine is.

X2, on mine the return port is the smaller of the two.

Is this correct? Thanks.

Mine's out of a 70 ish Caddy and it is like what you show. Low pressure by the crossmember.

is it nec. to have a high pressure hose for the return. My sag box has a low pressure (just normal hose) to a oil cooler then back to the pump. but the high pressure inlet does have a high pressure type hose and fitting.

Only the feed line needs to be high pressure.

The return is a happy low pressure line.

Thank you.

Thanks guys! About to walk out to have the hoses custom made, then I saw a website with the ports reversed. So the key is the larger port is the high pressure one.
