Electric Power Steering Install - Slant Six Forum
above is a link to the post on the same subject that I put up at .org
the Jan 28 2023 post has photos that show how I welded straps on the existing OE collar that holds the steering column up and in place. I drilled and threaded holes into the aluminum collar on the EPAS unit so the EPAS unit is firmly bolted to the steering column and the dash. I also had to cut the outboard most extension (bolt mount) from the OE collar to clear the EPAS unit. I then fabricated a work around section to replace the section cut away.
I removed the front seat from the 68 Barracuda to give me room to work. It was not bad, but if a person would be installing one of these units as part of a restore project with the dash under dash wiring out of the way it would be much easier and allow more options for positioning the EPAS unit and fabricating a mount.
I have 16:1 steering in the 68 Barracuda,, not bad to drive on the street, however I did a couple of Autocross events last summer and on some real slow sharp turns I could not get the steering wheel around as fast as I wanted to. Thats why the power steering was installed.
