Finally a day nice enough to take the '66 out! In late December I added a Borgeson Power Steering set-up and yesterday was the first day I could try it out. Really happy with it!

I have a date at the alignment shop for May first, I found specs here so I guess I'm ok on that but my question is should I move the outer tie rod ends to the front most location at the spindle to quicken up the steering?

Does it make a noticeable difference? Car won't get skitterish [word?] will it? Thanks for your advice! Jim

Jim,
The factory installed power steering used the front holes on the spindle. I don't know why there would be any difference with the Borgeson, but there may be. Others who have installed the system will surely respond.

It will turn farther and have a smaller circle with the forward holes.

No, the steering will not get skittish doing it that way.

Thanks fellas, I'll move the tie rods....

Absolutely yes, move to the fast ratio holes!

I have the Borgeson conversion on my 67, set up in that way, and it is great - just nicely responsive, not skittish at all.

Make sure your alignment includes increasing the caster as much as possible with the stock A arms (if that is what you have). Borgeson recommends 4* positive, but I was able to get a max of 3*+ which seems to be all there is unless you switch to aftermarket offset A arms.

No worries though - mine is great. It totally transforms the car, makes it steer like a modern one!
