I have a 41 Pontiac street rod with stock front end in great shape. I want to convert the manual steering box to power steering. Any one know the best power steering box to use for this? Thanks 41Pontrod

We adapted a GM power box from a mid 70's full size car. They are all about the same for many years with the major difference being the turning ratio. The only real problem in doing this is that that stock suspension was not designed to handle todays speeds and gravitational pulls that radials, big motors and speed place on them. Be sure to add a sway bar and quality gas shocks in the mix. ronhotrod [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Mount washington, Kentucky Charter Member since July 2001   Posted by moparjack44  -  10/05/2007 05:42 PM Sorry can't help, just wanted to comment on thet good looking Pontiac.
