" From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> " " " " " I can see how lowering the pressure (lower assist) won't increase " "feel" -- power assist is like leverage, the wheels are pushing on " the short side of the fulcrum, and the % change in effort is " divided by the leverage. " " So what *is* the best way to have our cake and eat it too -- " limited power assist and feedback from the steering wheel? feel is controlled by a torsion bar in the ps gear valve. the thicker the bar, the more the feel; they range from 0.165" dia to 0.204". most are on the small end; something like a z28 would have a 0.195". they also showed the early zj box was a good choice; fast ratio, medium-high feel, wide turning angle. i learned this from a page in a gm-oriented website. it had specs for saginaw gears from the mid '60s to mid '90s at least. unfortunately, i can't find the url again... ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
