over all how does it feel at high speeds? On the freeway is the huge dead spot gone? ive found alot of info about the box, but not too many people giving a good description on how it feels on the road... thanks..


my plan was to run the aftermarket pump and the manual steering adapter.

Its a good system its what gm used for a long time.Ford changed over from the ram style to it in 71 on the mustang and a lot of fords used it tell mid 2000s.

I have the same issue on my 65. Dead spot above 55 which feels like wind pushing the car around.

I am considering it, but I have to do away with the Zbar clutch linkage for it to fit. Considering going to a hydraulic clutch later and then trying this out. It's either that or shell out 1,500.00 or more on rack and pinion.

did u ever think of going cable clutch... ? im getting kinda worried about this conversion, since ive read alot of forums about installs. I havent gotten much feeback here or on stangnet...

synthartist69

Yes, I have considered the cable clutch as well. That unit is suppose to take the slack out of the steering. It's irritating, especially on the interstate. I have changed out most of my front end parts including the control valve and centerlink but the roadwalk, over/under steer, or whatever you want to call it is still there. It acts like 30 to 40 mph side winds are hitting the car..lol.

If I end up installing it, I will let you know how it worked.

Its probably got the factory steering box on most never change one unless it fully breaks.

From what I can see, the steering box is working fine. I get immediate action when someone turns the steering wheel while I am watching the control valve stud.
