Title: 567 power steering update
Post by: johns2000 on 2008-12-18 16:35
Just thought I would let you guy's know the 567 power steering gearbox from ABS power brakes is a 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. I set my 460 block back in the wagon to check for header clearance and found the 567 box is a little closer but still had about 1" of clearance. I'm taking some pic's and hope to do a good tech article on this system once it's done, wish me luck!!

Installed the 567 box today. It is very close to the exhaust manifolds, but it does clear.
I am currently running a Y block with an auto. I will have to modify the shift linkage as I had to shorten the
steering column about 8 inches. As it is, without the pump it is quite smooth with no lost motion (slop)
Not completely finished, but I am pleased with the box so far. I will keep all posted as I continue with the
installation.
