Re: PS Pressure????

" Sort of -- there has to be a valve for the amount you want. So far I

" cars, maybe as low as 600 on a Vega (Chevette used rack and pinion).
" As far as I know the rack and pinion cars regulate pressure at the

" the commonly used hot rodder piece.... 

the vega ps gear is also popular, with the older chevy crowd.  it's
smaller than the usual saginaw ps gear, but importantly has the
pre-'75 manual box bolt pattern - no adapter plate needed.
