Re: Power steering leak/question

Steering effort depends on your rack and steering wheel diameter, tire width and offset.

Factory '50s truck is probably 4-5 turns lock to lock with a big diameter wheel and skinny tires.
Mustang II power rack is 2-3 turns lock to lock, you may have a smaller wheel and wider tires and some offset.

It will probably steer fine without ps rolling at speed, but be a bear to park. There is technique to parking manual steering that helps, slow roll while you crank the wheel.
