Default Just bought a Tri-Power '59 Catalina and want to upgrade
Hwy. My new (to me) '59 Caralina is in gorgeous shape but has manual steering and brakes, Can I get complete kits to upgrade to power steering and power disc (front) brakes, keeping the additions as original as possible?
Thanks

Check with Master Power for their disc brake conversion kit. Power steering could prove difficult considering the required parts have all but dried up. I would contact Steve Barack at Pontiac Heaven to see if he has any ‘59 or ‘60 B bodies with power steering to serve as donor vehicles. I know he was starting to reduce the number of vehicles he had a few years ago.
