Everything looks great so far and I think we’re all excited about the progress you’re making. Thank you for the moral support!! As you’ve witnessed it takes me awhile to do even the smallest jobs with this car at times. As a result, I wind up having several “half done” tasks waiting for time or parts to complete. That being said, I have a Mach 1 power steering bracket being delivered tomorrow and also the o2 extenders necessary to complete the power harness install should be in later this week.

White95 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Started on the AN power steering hose conversion today. Had to drop the rack to get the old lines out, which was a major pain in the ass. Making the actual hoses up wasn’t very difficult but getting the ferrul onto the soft, Teflon inner hose was a pain. This is the low pressure hose to the hydro boost: At this point I was called into work but I will post more pictures later! ...and here is the second round: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Mustanger mentioned the power steering pump specific fitting is too long and he is going to provide me with the part # for the approximate part. I’ll make sure to post this information for all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 It was brought to my attention that the power steering fitting blocks a fluid passage. I took the stock fitting out of an old pump to see what he meant and found this: Did some research and found a thread over on the TCCOA forum where someone found an easy fix by cutting the Russell fitting down: More on this at a later date!!

streetpilot Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) I know you're being nickeled and dimed by this project, and maybe you already have a solution standing by, but after seeing this photo of the bottom of your reservoir I couldn't help but think that you deserve a nice (and maybe contaminant-free?) power steering fluid reservoir. Looks like it's been a while since this one's been flushed out. Maybe this?

White95 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Well, Shit. Didn’t realize the upper and lower mounts were completely different. Well, I looked around my hoard and found a bracket that looked feasible enough to modify into a suitable pair of upper mounts. The idea was to use some of the existing holes in the core support to keep from unnecessarily modifying the car for a temporary fix. Took a few measurements and started to whack metal with my Dremel tool. Didn’t take any pictures of the process but you’ll get the idea. The goal here is to either use a small u-bolt to hold the peg in place or simply just leave it as-is. It’s rock solid. Did some minor fit work to allow the drivers side to fit flush. Here’s how it’ll look with the expansion tank in place. Now I’ll remove the mounts and paint them black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
