i need help installing power steering into my 1990 s13. i bought it from a guy who swapped in a twin cam Ka and he forgot "a few" things. did most of it myself but i recently pulled a single cam PS highand low pressure lines, and resevoir from a hatch in the junk yard. My 240 does have the lines that run parallel to the sway bar but not the hoses running to the pump and resevior. Also, im not real sure on what side to even mount the resevior since single cams mount to the left of the engine bay and twin cams mount to the right side. any help would be appreciated. thanks guys.

You can either modify the SOHC PS lines to work or get some DOHC PS lines. Mount the DOHC reservoir to the drivers side.

Mount the power stering res. on the driverside. When I did my swap I got the powerstering lines from a dohc car in a junk yard and swaped them in with the motor out.
