Another hitch...Power steering Fitment
Out of the many, many things I've been changing on my car for the past couple of months including engine, tranny, clutch, starter, electric fuel pumps, power steering, coilover shocks, tubular upper and lower control arms, aluminum radiator, electric water pump, spall fans, it seems that almost every change has had a domino effect causing something else to not fit right and needing it to be changed. The lastest occured this evening after completing the installation of my new Pole Position lower control arms. I went to install the new power steering rack only to discover that it will not clear the control arms! I put the manual rack back in and fortunately it does just make it....but just barely. Since I've gone to the trouble of installing a March serpetine drive kit with a new power steering pump I'd kind of like to finish it....It was a project that John Walsh was helping me out with via phone and emails....he loved his power steering! Anyway.... Do I just have the wrong rack? I bought one for a Mustang 85 and up. Is there one that will clear lower tubular control arms?

fxbill, the car calls for the Mustang II rack, 1974 to 1978. I'm not sure what the difference is but I would check it out.

Didn't DV have a variable rate power steering rack that would fit the CR? I think it was made by Flaming River.

ps for future reference, I would love to find out how you mounted the PS pump, I had a heckuva time finding a bracket. Unless, of course, you used a Ford pump, instead of the GM which Flaming River uses.

Yes... I would very much like to see photos.. my email is fxbill@comcast.net
I used a Ford pump with a March serpentine belt mount. The only thing I had problems with was the filler neck on the pump which hit my valva covers...only because I have adaptors with FE valve covers on the engine. I cut 1 inch off the filler neck and plastic welded it back. It fits perfect now. I think I have a photo of it here in a pst post... I'll look for it. |
