You will need to go to a wrecking yard or a used mustang parts house and get the mounting bracket , pulley and bolts and a old ps pump to rebuild or use as a core. You can use parts off any old ford with a 289/302 falcon cougar bronco galaxy these will all work. Good luck (in reply to 67mustang289) Post #: 2

The manual steering is nicer for driving on mountian/country roads you have a better feel for the road. (in reply to 67mustang289) Post #: 4
