Default putting together power steering setup

so i have wanted power steering for a while on my 1965 coupe, and i have a few things, i already have the power steering linkage, with the control valve on it, and i have the slave cylinder. what do i need to finish up the conversion? i know the pump, and resivor, but what hoses, fitting, and other parts are nesscary. i want to see how much i still have left to piece together, and the best way to do that. thanks.

man all I can say is dont do it. I have ps on my 66 and it has been a PITA since the car was put together. ALso, the feel of the steering is really weird. It is way too easy to steer.

I would go with power or even manual rack & pinion steering. Save your self the trouble and the $

you can get all the hoses, and control valve, ram and pump from checker. i love the power steering on my 70, except for the fact that the original pump started leaking and ive replaced it 4 times since, all guaranteed for life but the replacements ended up making noise.
