Is the power steering box on 1962 Catalinas a Saginaw 800?
Does anyone know if the power steering box in by 1962 Catalina Safari is the common saginaw 800 series? It looks similar, but Im not sure. If its not an 800, does anyone know if its another saganiw box with the same bolt pattern that would pop right in.
It steers fine, but its a ton of turns lock to lock. Its got a cooler and all, which I assume is not factory, but the lines are old, and the rag joint I'm sure needs replaced. I was considering doing some basic maintenance on those items, but if Im going to do all that I would consider a swap to a later box that has a tighter ratio. But that's only if its an 800, that I can easily find affordable options for an upgrade. If its not then Ill likely just do the wear parts.
