A 58 Edsel  Pacer is a 57/58 Ford fairlane/Fairlane 500. The power steering gear box will be harder to steer than a non-power box if used with out power. The Pacer uses the 361 MEL V8 so the power streeing pump would be the same but I'm not sure about the braket, however everthing else will fit your ford. A lot of small body parts will interchange, the one that are Edsel or Edsel/Mercury are great Ebay items. What is the model number for 57 Ford Delux, I've never herard of this model.?
