      The location has nothing to do with making fun of Mexicans. It's a joke within the car community to say you are in Mexico when you speed. The saying goes like "you can't get in trouble if you are speeding in another country. " It's just a way to legally protect yourself and in no way makes fun of Mexicans. I apologize if it offended you

    Dropping that P/S pump is a good thing. My car ATE those pumps...after two I just took it out. The only 'proper' manual steering part is a different tie rod center.....which you do not need to change.....plus then you may as well do the whole tie rod as it will need an alignment. I can change the oil filter from the top and that's a plus. See you use the same NAPA fuel filter....I buy them 3 - 4 at a time! Running two right now with the new fuel tank.
    On the steering check your rag joint too.....once soft it will allow steering to become 'lazy'.
    Good stuff!

      Dave & @fourspeedfilms - how much heavier is the steering leaving the original box in there and just removing the power system? Heavy enough at slow speeds that you'd ultimately want to go do a different ratio box? Thinking of doing the same to my car, but just a little leary of how heavy it's going to feel around parking lots & such

    • @davevan8864
      @davevan8864 3 роки тому +2

      @@dannymcgirr On the first Gen Mustangs until the end of 68 the P/S was almost a add on. In fact a dealer could add it if customer wanted it. For me the car drives fine and I like the response and feedback. Only when stopped does it become tough and then even though I am north of 60 not bad. What you have to consider is if the P/S is integrated into the steering box and linkage. Then it becomes a whole different conversion. If it's a first Gen Mustang you can unbolt the power cylinder from the tie rod center member, leaving all other parts in place, and test it out to see if you like it. If not, just hook it back up......you will not even loose fluid! Good Luck.

    Both my three pedal 65 and 67 Mustangs were manual steering.
    The 67 had REALLY wide low profile 50 series tires. To turn, it had to be moving. You could not steer the tires standing still.
    As you progress with more power stuff, you might consider an electric fuel pump. It will help eliminate many fuel starvation problems.
    Keep banging those gears! Not many three pedal guys around anymore.

    You mentioned you're interested in a new/rebuilt steering box. Not sure where you're located, but Chockostang does amazing work. I sent my box to him and got it back rebuilt to specs, cleaned up, and powder coated the original color. Made a HUGE difference and I would say it's worth shipping your stuff out to him regardless of where you're at. He's great to work with, too--I'm sure he'd be happy to trade out your power steering parts (pump, centerlink, etc.) for a manual setup!

    Always something is not necessarily a bad thing. Ain't no better feeling than when your car runs well after a "fix". BTW, I can always tell when someone doesn't work on cars much - they'll ask me "Why do jiggle wires so much?" Those of us who do work on them know that maybe 90% of the time you find or fix the problem that way. Not just engines, either.

  • @jlacc1
    @jlacc1 3 роки тому

    You will still have a big play in your steering cause the steering control valve has atleast 1/2 of movement. There is a conversion kit for that. You have to change that soon or the ball arm inside the control valve may break off cause it cannot take all that heavy work. Remember that ball arm acts like a switch it is not meant to carry all that weight and effort as a manual steering..

    I have been contemplating doing manual steering on my c10 for a while. 1960's power steering just has no feel and is all about the assist. Once I rebuilt my power steering unit and it no longer leaked, it moved a little lower down the priority list, though. Manual brakes are amazing, though. I would never go power assist.

It gives you power steering with no parasitic power loss. I'm putting it on my '70 Fastback and '73 Bronco.
