hi guys, so now that my 84 2.0L super base truck looks decent and has become pretty smooth and reliable, I decided I was gonna go nuts and try to add power steering before it gets too cold here in new york. I do most my work on the street but I have my parents garage when i drive home for the holidays and stuff, but I want to do it here and now.
so if I understand correctly, I need the following:
- brackets (2 of them, correct?) one for the pump one for the.. box?)
- ps gear box
- pump
- idler pulley
- belts
- lines
- ps cooling pump?
I live in nyc and for some reason I'm not super hopeful about finding a kit in a junkyard here. Most stuff I can get online with a bit of patience?
also where can i find photos of what the thing looks like assembled, I'll look around but maybe somebody has one handy..
also I wonder if the more difficult parts like the brackets wouldn't be interchangeable with something off another model maybe?
I don't even know if the 2.0L can manage PS.. only conversions I've seen are with 2.3 and 2.8L engines.
anyways, I hope it's doable, I'm pretty motivated..
