On the '57 Custom with manual transmission, I routed the return line through the transmission cooler in the radiator.  On the Raunch Wagon with automatic transmission, I added a PS cooler along the frame.   PS coolers are usually small and not necessarily located in front of the radiator.  Many '70s Fords had little coolers located right next to the PS pump.

Rich, Do you have the part numbers on the banjo fittings you used?

I may be able to find them on Pure Choice website, but are you asking about the hydroboost banjos, or the ones on the Cavalier rack? If the hydroboost, one thing I do remember is they do not make one for the smaller of the 3 ports. They told me they could not make it strong enough to withstand the torquing. Also, all my fittings are basically adapters to a 6AN hose fitting.

couldn't find them on their website. If you call them and tell them what you have they will know what you need.

NEW!!  I bought a three piece kit for the hydraulic booster going in my '65 Galaxie.  This is the first time I have found a fitting for the booster return line.  Here's the link:

Pure Choice had those. It was the small banjo fitting they won't make.
