Just a thanks to everyone that has thrown an idea out here. I am working on getting my 66 Dart that has manual steering back on the road. Im considering going to power steering but since it's not on the road yet I'm still not sure. I want to make up my mind before I purchase any kit and that means I need to drive it a few times. I'm hoping to have my first drive in September as it sits now and see if PS is needed. But in order to change to PS i will probably have to change the idler and pitman arm as well. Ive looked at a Flaming river box, a Borgeson, or go to a NAPA and buy one of theirs. Then theres the power steering pump. I do have one from a 66 Dart slant six car but it would need to be powered coated in order to look good with a new dress up kit.
I dont do many car shows, maybe 2 a year and Im not a trophy ***** so this is to make me happy with what I look at once the hood is up.
Ive spent 4+ years of a few hours a week getting this car ready to get back on the road. Ive spent well over what the car will ever be worth and I figure going to PS steering or just a dress up kit will run anywhere between $500 - $1500 more.
Again thanks for all suggestions and if there are any more throw them at me.
Thanks Rod
