Anybody read the steering article in hot rod this month with the lime green valiant? They used a borgeson u joint, a modified faster ratio foreign car power steering box that fits the stock k frame and uses a mopar pitman spline to attach the stock.pitman arm ,a late model GM pump,.ididit column, and some other parts. This was freakin pricey.!!!
My plan was to use the stock 74 but rebuilt ps box, a set of pst fast ratio pitman and idler arms, and lower my power steering pump pressure on the saginaw.ham can pump to about 850 psi to firm up the feel. And keep the stock rebuilt.column.
Doing it my way will save a ton of cash better spent elsewhere, but the question i am asking is the hot rod magazine setup better? About the same as what i am going to do? Sure costs more, but that dont make it better.
Thoughts on this one.
