2Blue2's 1977 Cobra2 Driveway Build

  • Sponsors (?)


Went to cruise second weekend in a row.
Talked buddy into going too.
He says only third drive on his new locker rear.
Fun to see his fastback out and about.

69 an 70 showed up
69 had a rarer green on er.
Told me the color but can't remember name.
70 was all murdered out with roll bar and slicks
He is my hero for the week!

Put new power steering pump in Jan2022 and today the car is whining and bucking.
Power steering is freaking out.
WTF
Thinking the Cardone pump just took a chit. IDK

Pump is here and in. After much bleeding procedure.
Drove the end of block and back with no leaks.
It is louder a bit than the last one for sure but didn't say it had the 'slipper' internals.
Same Cardone part number as last one. 96-7054
Hope this one makes the distance. If anything else happens it might become manual.

I know the additives are more of a “Band-Aid” fix, but I’ve been running it in ford pumps for years,and it’s treated me pretty well

Now that the pump has got 10 miles on it, its sound has softened some. Probably had to get rid of the last of the air in system.
I like that Lucas PS product and have used it before.
