Want to convert a Javelin 72 360 from manual to power steering.

Not easy to figure out which parts I should get, does someone knows if it is a Eaton or Saginaw pump that would fit?

For 72, Saginaw would be correct.   Your best bet for parts is a V-8 Jeep Wagoneer up to 1979.   You'll need the pump, brackets, hoses, and steering box, possibly pulleys.  You'll need the PS steering arm for an AMC car, as well as the rag joint on the steering shaft.  I think you'll also need the plate between the box and frame for a PS box.   The input and output shafts of the PS unit are larger than the manual box.  Around 1980, they changed the hose fittings from SAE flanged to metric o-ring, but adapters can be purchased.

you'll eventually pay for it...
and not have it.
