My question is ; is the pressure coming out of the powersteering pump too high to loop back into the reservoir ? I'm not really sure if there is normally a significant pressure drop after the rack before it goes back into the res. I would rather build a powersteering idler before I have to throw a rack on this stupid thing haha! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sydewayz Stan</b> <br /><small>Member # 10217</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,4,5,12,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Im pretty sure the return line is a LOT lower pressure than the pressure feed line <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>83notcher</b> <br /><small>Member # 12608</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,4,5,15,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Just get a ac/power steering delete bracket. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>89foxstang</b> <br /><small>Member # 5908</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,4,5,16,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Alright sounds like I gotta make an idler or something unles those deletes are cheap since I just need it so I can fire this motor up <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blueoval55</b> <br /><small>Member # 9787</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,4,5,16,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> When i started my 351 on a test stand i looped the hose back to the return side.

This motor is not mine just getting ready to do an efi swap on a friends fairlane, don't think he's down to buy an electric wp just to get it running on the stand.thanks for the suggestion though!<br /><br />Only problem is the motor has deleted ac , will bypass the smog pump and ps I don't really see a way to do that without an idler . May just have to bite the bullet and make one.... Or I may try to just route the output into the res . Worst case I owe him a 50$ pump.. I think odds are good if I use a big enough hose it will be fine <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
