C3 steering
Green69:
Do you have any pictures by chance? For the P/S pump, do you use the "old" steel style body pump or a modern one like in Holden for example. And did you set up the pressure a bit lower to make it less responsive?
Many thanks in advance.

The Borgeson swap is straight forward
But there's always. But!
Remember a 40 odd year old car may not nessacerally be straight nor in original condition in regards to frame dimensions.
You may need to be creative to make it all work.
Mine uses the chev steering pump no problems
It worth modifying the return oil line to a jic fitting
The major problem you will have is, getting enough caster with the stock top control arm.

I've got a few pictures, and I can take some more, what would you like to see? I'm using the original pump. I haven't adjusted the pressure lower, but it's an option. My car has been stuck off the road waiting for some diff parts from the US (which sat in Customs for a couple of weeks :banghead: and finally arrived at the post office today) so I can put the rear suspension back together. Then I'll align it (with a heap of extra caster on the front, I've installed the global west offset tubular upper arms), drive it, and decide whether I want to reduce the assistance. I think Bfit is on the money. As aftermarket performance parts go, this is an easy and painless install, but there's always something...

What top control arms are you running and how much caster did you end up with ?
Also did you change lower control arm as well ?

For the pictures,if you have an overall view of the installation, and one of the pump bolted onto the motor. I am just trying to figure how big this is. I have a manual steering and I would like to add way more caster. So not being in prime anymore I will need an assistance of some sort .
