Default 66 powersteering conversion questions

I have a 66 mustang im thinking of doing a power steering conversion on.
im unemployed so have very little money, so it need's to be on the cheep.

I have a pump and a guy is selling this for $10 bucks


will my tie rod end's work with it? cus i just replaced everything under the car so would love to use em.
I know that the 6cyl car tie rod ends are different but not sure on the v8 (mine is a true v8)

i found this on line but there car is a 6cyl not a v8 so im not sure if mine will work or not sense it's already a v8.

Pity. That's a later model centerlink/valve assembly, won't work on your 66.

oh no way!!!

well glad i didnt buy it yet, mine is a 65 but it's such a late model it's pretty much a 66 with a 65 vin

will one off a 64 ranchero work by chance? it was a 6cyl car.

Hmmm… The 64 Rancheroo was basically a Falcon. The 6 cylinder Falcon and 6 cylinder Mustang shared parts, as did the V8 Falcon and V8 Mustang. Not much crossover there, though.

The PS pictured is indeed later model (To be exact, a 67 unit), and will not work with 65 66 V8 Tie Rods. Totally Different pieces from 66 to 67.

No on the Ranchero. Different well.

Only PS that fits the 65 66 V8, is 65 66 V8, Not even the 65 66 6 Cylinder will work on the V8 Car.
