Hi folks. I'm thinking of converting to power steering in my 64 Valiant V8. What years of A body assemblies will bolt in?
Thanks, Wally

Ok, thank you64-69 with align but the real difference is in the power steering box return fitting. 64-66 had 1/2 return and 67-69 has a 1/4 return. It’s best to stay with 64-66 if that’s what your car has or you’ll have to source a later return which isn’t impossible but can be tricky to setup.

Thanks for the infoAnd your column will need to be changed, or shorten your current one.
Jake - on my 65 PS box, it takes a 5/8 return hose as does my pump and a 65 Imperial PS cooler I have - don’t think it’s 1/2 inch. I think the later stuff uses the 3/8 but since I’m not that familiar with 67-later I may be wrong.64-69 with align but the real difference is in the power steering box return fitting. 64-66 had 1/2 return and 67-69 has a 1/4 return.

Don, I’m sure that you’re right. I thought it was big but didn’t think that much. The later version is 3/8 for sure.Jake - on my 65 PS box, it takes a 5/8 return hose as does my pump and a 65 Imperial PS cooler I have - don’t think it’s 1/2 inch.
