Alright i jsut got all my saginaw stuff and brackets in today. I faintly remembering that there is some kinda mod you can do to it involving some drilling or something that lets you get a little more power from it? Also wasnt there some ghetto way using some thick walled flex pipe from home depot to get a little more fluid in the ole girl as well? point me in the right direction.

eh its not that big a deal, since saginaw is so much better than ford stock ****, ill drill it and take out the washer, in the valve and call it good, i already got a cooler so that gives it about another quart.

what kind of reservior you got now? If its the ham can style (I think thats the term), you can add a piece of hose or tube to the top to add more volume. Other options is a reservior from a GM van I think, or a isuzu reservior (this one I can confirm is pretty big, with 2 built in filters, and the yard let me have it free)

I put a magnet on the pump. Got stuff stuck to it every time I change it. Also got magnets in the diffs.
