Add power steering in 67 coupe?

[Scott Mc]

Interesting question. I'll have to say I'm not qualified to answer that though. I have a total of about 5 minutes seat time driving a fox.

My assumption would be that the Fox would be better, simply because it's newer, and that there's still room for improvement in a Fox.

My point isn't that stock 60's steering is God's gift to engineering, but rather in good shape with good suspension mods (most importantly including the Shelby/Arning drop) and some good tires, the stock system isn't junk.

Playing devils advocate here, but I do have to say that even with a lower bushing currently out on my Bird, I can still one finger drive it with ease. Even when abusing the car. I did scare myself a little exiting Murphy drive in Bedford the other day in the rain, I got reminded what a 4 plus K car will do and not do in that situation. In all honesty if whatever you put under it is solid then it will work. FYI on the leaky garbage, it did take me 5 pumps to get a non leaking one for the power steering pump which was fun finding each time. If you go stock I recommend scavenging junk yards for OEM rebuildable parts, a lot of these new repop parts are complete garbage.

There are some cars out there that have electric power steering now. The odds might be slim, but maybe a junkyard piece could be somehow adapted.

The way I understand it, its "assist" and not full power steering. Just makes it a lot easier to operate, but you can still feel that its not super easy like regular power steering is. The wife's car has it. I've come to prefer it over regular old power steering.

I worked on those things when they were new.
P.S. on Mustang, Mavidicks and the rest were sorry,
with lines hanging all over the place.
If you want to keep and drive it, spend some bucks
and do it right!

If you don't want to hack in an electric setup and don't wanna deal with the crummy factory setups, Borgeson makes a replacement PS box. I think all you need to do is shorten the steering column a bit.
