Steering
My 67 has factory PS which is way overboosted like early cars were.
I would like to improve this and have the car feel like a true sports car. I would appreciate suggestions. I've looked at Steeroids and also just a modifaction to the flow of power steering fluid.
Thanks, Ron

You might also contact Jim_Shea on this Forum. He has many years of experience with the Saginaw system and knows how to get the most out of it. Fixing what you have would cost a LOT less than re-engineering your steering system.

I had my OEM power steering box custom blueprinted/rebuilt by a former forum member who does rebuilds as a business and I have to tell you the steering is super tight, zero play….The only downside is the 16:1 factory steering ratio versus the Borgeson 12.7:1 steering ratio but for about 60% less cost….Count not be happier with the factory system now for about 6 years...
