There is only one real adjustment on a control valve, and it has nothing to do with your problem. The adjustment affects the bias the system has to assisit one direction over the other. It helps to keep the linkage centered. You only change this adjustment when the system makes the car pull one...

You can use your old manual steering gearbox, the only difference is the extra turn in the ratio. You will have to change the pitman arm. Manual steering pitman has a stud knuckle on the centerlink end - power steering has a tapered hole for the ball stud.

Power Cylinder A bad power cylinder should not cause play in the steering. If it is very weak, it may keep the power assist from coming in strong, but there shouldn't be any play. Other than the obvious checking for leaks at the rod seals and hose fittings, the way to check if the cylinder...

Adjustment Uh, jlangholzj, the part you have circled on the control valve is the grease fitting. No adjusting there. There is an adjustment under the aluminum cap on the valve, but it will not tighten up any looseness in the valve. It adjusts the bias the valve has under pressure between...

The spec and a picture is shown in the 1966 Ford shop manual. I would guess it is in the 1965 also.

Control Valve It is kinda tricky. You line up the rollpin hole on the extension with the slot in the ball stud sleeve. There rae two holes on the end of the centerlink where the extension bolts on. You measure from the CENTERLINE of the hole closest to the valve, to the CENTERLINE of the...

Once the parts are finished, I have it packaged and weighed, and know what the return shipping will be, I will contact you for payment info and then ship it to you.

Shameless Self-Promotion You might look this website over to help you decide what to do - http://www.stangerssite.com

Front or Rear Mount This will help you determine which style pump you have - http://www.stangerssite.com/eatonpumppics.html

Hose Seats If your cylinder leaked that bad without even starting the system up, the cylinder may not even have seats in it. A lot of places sell a Maverick power cylinder as a replacement for the early Mustang unit since the overall dimensions are very close, but some of the later Mavericks...

The large diameter filler neck pumps are correct for 1965-1966 Fords. On V8 cars, the straight up neck is for non-AC cars, the tilted neck for AC cars. In 1967, Ford went to the small neck pumps. It is very common to get a later model small neck pump as a replacement, but it is not correct...

The needle bearings in the Flaming River boxes is nothing special. All the Mustangs used needle bearings on the sector shafts.Ford went to this starting with the 1963 Falcon, from which the Mustang box housing came from. The Flaming River boxes are expensive because they are new, but also...

If you aren't going to change the spindles, then you could leave the 6cyl power steering in place. All the parts are different between 6cyl and V8 that year, but you can still use them. The only part of the 6cyl power steering linkage that is weaker than the V8 parts is the stud of the tie rod...

No real advantage that I can see, other than the pumps are not as old, so there are more of them out there. They are a smaller pump, so that may give you some advantage around some accessories. They are basicaaly like the earlier pumps in design, just with a smaller plastic housing and a...

Well, you don't give much information to go on. I assume you have a Ford-Thompson style pump setup, which was the main pump used from 1965 to 1977. If you are asking if the later Ford C-II pump, made from 1978 to about 2001, will work - yes, it will. It has the same bolt pattern on the...

Measurement Centerline of the grease fitting nipple to the centerline of the hole in the centerlink where the inner drivers side tie rod end mounts.

Roll Pin Yes, the clamp will keep the control valve in place, but it is no problem to fix it right. As stated before, the roll pin is very hard and cannot be easily drilled out. You can use a carbide end mill, but that is too much trouble. Just use a 1/8" drill bit and drill a new hole...

Did you move the wires on the starter solenoid? If you swap the two small wire on the solenoid, the car will start and run in the START position, then stop running in the RUN position.

I believe the crank-mounted power steering pumps were used just on the 429/460 engine in the Lincolns. There is no listing for it in the Ford line parts books. It also required a special timing cover for it to bolt on to.

Well, guys, the stuff I have right now is labeled as "Paint Thinner (Mineral Spirits)" and is listed as being used to clean up paint brushes and guns. I know in the past it was also labeled as laquer thinner, but was used for cleanup rather than mixing paint. I have been using it for 20 years...
