Here is a copy of the info I have in my file, in case I ever get another TD, oh wait

This is where I got the idea.

"The pump is from a Chevy Cavalier I think. The pun’p has 3 wires. Ground and 2 power wires, 1 for each direction. It is a power up and down. You only need power up So pick one wire and note which way pump ‘pushes” the fluid. On the supply to the pump attach it to your existing SLS fluid tank.. On the hi pressure hose originally on your pump, attached to the head, unbolt it at the fitting by the coil spring tower. Measure the hose for new length, bring the hose and pump to a hydraulic shop, theyll put a new end on it to connect to the new pump.. connect it up and your done.
The electrical end is important. These pumps draw ALOT of juice. Use a relay (Ford starter solenoid is best) and wire it directly to the battery. Put a switch in the cab. When you energize the purr~ it will groan alot until the vahicle hits the height you selected ~Aa the arm attached ovar the rear dif. Once its there, it just recirculates the fluid, just like the factory pump. I nevar let it run more than 10 seconds at a clip. Pumps the car right up. If it gets too hot, It will shut down on its own till it cools."
