as soon as baby girl goes to bed, thinking about trying to put on some power steering lines (new setup - original parts) - on a 72, On the steering box, which is the supply and which is the return (looking at it from the dr. side wheel area). Thanks all.

The supply, (pressure line) is on the outside and the return line is on the inside. You should not be able to install them incorectly as the pressure line has a larger fitting.
