Power Steering Question

[ixlr8]

Hi again Everyone!  Is it possible to change over to a variable power steering unit from a later model unit to use on my /77? What do I need to find or do to accomplish this?

You need a new steering box, new hoses and a new pump to accept the "metric" hose fittings.

Thanks Roundedline! Any other mods required to do the change over?

You're welcome.  That should pretty much cover the whole thing. (make sure you get the pitman arm )

just wondering, whats the diference? is it stiffer? do sway bars stiffen the steering up too? thank you, just doin some learning. talk to you later

Not really sure what you are asking.  He is changing the manual steering to Power steering.  It has nothing to do with the swaybars....
