.After driving around for my first 1000 miles I decided I would like to add power steering. It was easy to steer without power steering when the car was rolling but in parking lots it was a little harder then it should be.
I learned how using a manual rack is better then using a power steering rack without the power steering.
My choices were, buy a manual rack or put in a power steering pump.
Unfortunately, I disposed of the original power steering pump, brackets and hoses that were with my donor.
So off to a salvage yard to pick up all those parts I did not save. Oh well....
It is just not right that I have to buy back parts I gave away. :-)
It was harder to track down all the parts I needed then it was to actually do the install.
I needed the expertise from the forum to tell me to get the A/C eliminator bracket for the installation. At first I thought I would not be able to install the donor power steering pump.
I tacked on a few more hours to my total build time. That does not include 3 trips to AutoZone to get the right size belt to fit now that the pump was installed.
I am all ready for the Annual Texas Cobra Club meet this weekend in Round Rock. Yahooo
