In that context, I suppose I can make an exception. Doesn't hurt that my wife shares certain attributes with Jungle Pam.
Yes, yes she does. And that is where the similarities end.
And I am not a fan of red unless it is part of that context, so pull it and powder it whatever color you want

Why do I feel like I am being goaded into providing evidence of my claims?
As for the swaybar... I am just going to scuff it up and throw whatever paint I have on it.
I have no idea what you are talking about.........Why do I feel like I am being goaded into providing evidence of my claims?

I had a hard reality check when I last moved this car around on 275s and no power steering... even worse when using a power steering box than a manual box. Skinny over-inflated tires are sort of workable at low speeds. My brother has a manual box I could have used - but, well pandemic reasons ruined that.
So what to do?
Electric Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS)!
I now have a Volvo remote mount-style EHPS pump on the way from Florida (4N513K514DJ) which should come complete with all the bits and pieces needed less the adapter for a 14mm to -6 AN (AT991954ERL or similar) from the pump and a whatever size I need to go from the steering box pressure side to -6AN. The advantage of this pump is that it doesn't require a controller like other options. It is just power and ground. They are very common in Europe, and very cheap. I couldn't get one in my region of the world - and had to bring it in from the States for that reason. I'll have to decide if want to install a PS cooler on the return side. Because who knows? I might try autocrossing this thing.
There is a non-remote mount pump version - this just gives me more flexibility on where I choose to install it... since some donkey cluttered the engine bay with a turbo and the like. Evidently you can mount these in the trunk.
Uh oh... it is made by Ford. There goes any reliability I once had...
There are a couple of very good write-ups here:

I just keep making problems for myself... daily.

Electric power steering pump in stude? - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum
Hi all- I have recently seen some hot rodding articles about putting / replacing electric power steering pumps into existing motor-driven systems. Has anybody any info to offer on a possible installation on a Bendix Hawk PS system? Steve
