The P/S pump on the car is probably the same pump that has been on the engine/IFS since new, as the engine, and front end both came from the same donor 1977 Mustang II car. I never thaught about it, but the reducing valve is a great idea and makes sence. As far as changing to manual stering, The front tires will never be very wide on the car. It has some older 14" alloy wheels and low profile tires that I will be changinf for coker wide whites on 15" steel wheels soon. Im going to try that reducing valve from Borgeson before I change anything. Thanks for your help, any more input is greatly appreciated.
