Power Steering Conversion February 2022

Thanks to my friend, Eric, I found a great shop in Mountain View called Custom Alignment. Joe, the owner, put in a Borgeson power steering conversion that included a new steering box and shaft, and a power steering pump.

The new power steering pump. The pulley already had a spot for the belt.

They diagnosed a rattling sound as a bad bearing in the water pump, so they replaced the water pump, painting it to match the Ford blue of the engine block.

Close up of the new steering box. The shaft cover had to be cut near the firewall.

This shows the entire assembly from the top front, including the water pump, power steering pump, and new radiator hoses.
