Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Power Steering for Gremlin

[Ed Veneck <edveneck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what I learned when installing a close ratio power steering box in my Gremlin.  All GM imtermittie cars will fix the Gremlin.  what you need to watch for is the type of hose connection on the high pressure side.  Some are flared and others use a "O"ring.  and after about 1976 they switch over to a metric thread, on both the fittings and mounting bolts.  You also need to be sure that the pitman are travels the same distant in its arc.  There is either a long or short spacer in the box that determines this.  I would recomend rebuilding any used box, you can get the parts at NAPA and it only take a few hrs to do.   As far as the pump brackets go, any AMC V8 will work.  I got mine off of a jeep wagoner with a 360.  All the pulleys bracket etc. were less then $50.00.

 

Here is a good web site on how to rebuild one:  http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=fp-yie8-s&va=saginaw+steering+box+rebuilding

I think that some 1970s GM steering boxes will interchange since AMC used Saginaw  aka GM steering boxes. I was bored one day at work and did some searching. I think Nova or Camaro possibly Caprice or Chevelle. You could ask at a local parts store. I can do some research at work if I get a chance.

I did a V8 conversion from an 73 I6 & the pumps don't work. The brackets for the V8 & I6 don't match. I am looking for the pump & pulley for a V8 & have the pump & bracket for the I6. Hope this isn't confusing.

Anyone know if the 72-74 Jav/AMX power steering box is a bolt-on for a 70 I6
Gremlin? Or if any year Jeep model will also bolt in. Looking for something that
will, so any suggestions appreciated.

Also looking for other NOS, used/serviceable power steering parts (pump
reservoir, pump brackets) for 360/401 V8.

Thx
