Hello,

I have a '69 Mustang and it has manual steering right now, what do I need to buy to convert it to power steering?

Thanks!

 

I just converted from power steering to manual in my '69 - from the research I did manual steering is much less of a headache than power steering, which is prone to many problems in these cars.

If you're serious about doing the swap, this is what you need:

control valve & assembly
ram cylinder
hoses
power steering pump
new water pump pulley
brackets etc.


you're probably looking at $500+ worth of parts, and constant leaks etc.

 

And built in slop...

 

i have power steering in my 69, im seriously considering takin it out and converting to manuel.

 

If you have headers, they may need to be modified.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I think I will just leave it manual then....I've just never had a car that didn't have power steering, so I guess I'll just have to get used to it. I haven't been able to drive it yet, it has been in the shop since day 1 but it's almost done! I am dropping the motor in this weekend, and then it just needs paint and it's done. The interior cam out very nice, I'll post pictures later.
