There is at least a pound of dirt on that cross memeber, and I bet the front sway bar weights over 10. just trying to help you lighten it

I took care of that today sway bar is out, most of the dirt is cleaned off. And I cut off most of the steering hoses and looped the remains. And bashed in the firewall for distributor clearance, if it needs it. And moved the brake line. Also did the TURDBIRD emblem on the trunk, but no picture yet.

It would be better. There is slop in the spool valve, etc.

The effort being higher, is probably related to the fact that the ratio on a power box is usually faster than that on a manual box (the manual box has more turns, lock to lock)

We find the Ford boxes last longer if they run the pump as long as possible before losing..
If we just looped the box's lines, they tend to break..
Again.. Different platform.. Pickup and large car tend to take permanent vacations unpumped

I had a power rack in another car years ago, that I looped the lines, and drove it on the street that way for quite a while.
I'm not too concerned about this one, it won't get much use.

it's getting close...still need to get the steering column in, seat mounted, shifter installed, and do all the wiring. The rest seems to be about ready to go. And these pics are from earlier in the day, since then I added fuel line, vacuum lines, throttle linkage, and a few other things.
