Electric power steering pump for retrofit?
My '66 C10 has a 250 six cylinder with three-speed on the column shifter.
I'm considering changing the manual steering to power steering. I don't mind the steering effort, but would like to have fewer turns lock-to-lock. I've been investigating using an electric power steering pump rather than trying to find the pulleys and brackets required for mounting a conventional power steering pump on the six cylinder engine. I'm also planning to add AC at some point, so this would leave engine mounting and pulley space free for the AC compressor. Just for experimenting, I picked up a 2007 Volvo S40 electric power steering pump at a pick-a-part today for $39. There's plenty of room in the engine compartment for this, but I also think it could mount in the fender-well behind the drive side headlight for a cleaner look. Has anyone tried adapting one of these pumps to drive a C10 power steering box? .
