Subject: Re: converting an 83.5 to power steering ?

Relatively easy to do, but
need to remove fuel tank. Make sure hydr. lines don't block area where
fuel
fill tube goes in, replace crossover tube, all fuel tank grommets
and large one for fill tube.May need to replace hoses to vent tanks.
Need original PS rod.May need to replace U-joints(3) as they are
probably
cracking by now.And last but not least flush system before connecting
all
If in doubt replace hoses etc
