Re: PS Pressure????

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now you know where to look for the valve!
Wrangler, just remove the high pressure line and seat and use a magnet to pull it up out of there and put it in yours. It should do the trick.
I know I looked the spec up in a 95 TSM so it should hold the same at least 91-95 probably clear up till now. Four cylinder may have yet a different valve. I don't think the TSM mentioned egine size though.

>I didn't blow the seals, it was just very touchy! Since I put the power rack an pinion on my car it's touchy now. I need to get a lower pressure valve for it. Of course I'll have to lower pressure at the pump since I don't have a steering box!

So I put the Wrangler Pressure relief valve in the new XJ pump Because the XJ pump was new and it had a a resevoir on it. The combination of the pump, valve and 73 3 1/4 turn lock to lock Hornet box feels real nice moving about the garage. I think I will be happy with it.

I used a Wrangler pressure relief valve in a XJ Cherokee pump which gives me about 900  PSI IIRC. Will this blow the seals in the 1973 box??? I can add a shim to drop presure,but the feel of the steering seems about right. It's not nearly as light/touchy as the 1969 setup was.
