What are you using for hydro assist? Stock pump?

this ^

i need to find some sort of new steering gear, mine is original from the factory and nasty as hell.

Ive got the HD T-Bird pump and its great. It got rid of the whine, and won't overheat, Ive seen guys run the same with assist and they seem to keep up.

I hadn't done any research on the pump yet. What year does the Tbird pump come from?

I run the HD T bird pump from OReileys on my 2.9. bolted on no problems with its shaft length.
This is the exact pump I used I asked for the HD PS pump for a 1979 T-Bird at Oreillys I cant find the exact part number I used for the exact pump I got but it looks like this with the horseshoe bracket. It was a reman, I used my ranger pump as a core. Had to call around a bit, but I found it.

Thanks for the info I will look into it. Scrubbed the interior some today. My wife put on another coat of orange while I worked on the front bumper and I got the pass side slider on. Still have to do the steps but at least I can wheel it now. I scrapped all the crappy window tint off the side windows they sucked even with my steamer machine.

She is looking pretty inviting inside now. I had my wife pick up some new heavy duty floor mats and pitched the crap ones that were in it. I hosed down the carpet and scrubbed the crap out of it. She said she was driving the truck to work Monday. LOL I said that is fine with me.

Took the Merc and Rock Ranger out for some wheeling today. Wanted to test out my hard work. The Rock Ranger did great and Merc did great like normal.
