GM PS pump w/ a Ford rack?
I bought a No-Limit "Wide Ride" ifs for my truck, it came with a rack from a late model T-Bird.
In some of the magazine articles I've read they refer to an issue with the compatibility of the pressure put out by a chevy power steering pump with a Ford rack. Is this something I need to address? what do I do? with the preponderance of aftermarket IFS systems with mustang II components, I'd assume that this is a common issue to be faced.

I've heard the late model racks are ok with GM pumps but I'm not 100% sure on that. Here is a restrictor that you can get for 18.00 that drops the GM pressure down for MII racks if the threads are the same. Mustang II Flow Correction Fitting
