PS Questions

Post by Mach428 »

I have two questions reqarding the conversion of MS to PS. First, does the manual steering box and the Ford PS box use the same pitman arm? Can I just remove the arm from the manual steering box and intsall it on the Ford PS box?

Also, same question regarding the MS rag joint coupling on a PS box. Are they the same?

Thanks all

i think the rag joint it's self is the same but i don't know if you can use the same column due to length different. i don't know about the pitman arm. sorry.

the pitman arms are the same. the rag joint will work fine. depending on the column center shaft used.
