The only thing that keeps me from using my '69 wheel as a daily driver is the lack of power steering.
I have filled the pump a few times and cleaned everything to see if I can find the leak is and I have isolated it down to the steering box itself. I snapped a few pictures for identification and you can look at them here. http://picasaweb.google.com/skiziks/PowerSteeringBox
Anyone ever rebuild one of these steering boxes or should I just look to replace it?
Thanks for your input!

fmartin,
Good link, thank you!
I'd always heard of pieces flying apart during teardown, but never tried one.
