REMOVAL:

 Remove pitman arm from original steering box. Disconnect the original steering box at the rag joint. Remove the

three bolts attaching the steering box to the frame and remove steering box.

INSTALLATION:

 Bolt the new steering box to the frame with the supplied bolts and lock nuts. Check that the steering box is not

making contact with the exhaust, or any surrounding brake lines. Grinding or altering the steering box in any

way will void your warranty.

 Gently tap on the rag joint flange at the base of the stock column to collapse the column in on itself to create

clearance for the rag joint and power steering box. It may be necessary to trim some of the outer column tube off

to allow the inner shaft to collapse far enough for installation. Do not attempt to collapse aftermarket columns.

 Install part #990003 Manual steering drag link adapter to original drag link. Do not completely tighten drag link

adapter pinch bolt until attached to pitman arm to verify alignment of stud on adapter. Be sure to properly tighten

all bolts.

 Center steering box and reinstall pitman arm to new steering box with supplied lock washer and nut. Attach

Pitman arm to #990003 manual drag link adapter and secure with supplied castle nut and cotter pin and then

tighten pinch bolt on drag link adapter.

 Install the part #990016 half rag joint to steering box and secure with setscrew then lock nut. (Do not stop at the

groove in the shaft. Fully install the shaft 1” into the rag joint) Attach rag joint to stock column rag joint

flange with supplied bolts.

 Connect conversion box to your original Ford pump with P/S hose kit # 925107 or 925109. (Arrows are cast into

box indicating pressure and return. Return line is closest to the rag joint.)

 Fill the power steering system with a quality P/S fluid. With the engine running check new system for leaks and

bleed off any air trapped in the system by slowly turning the wheel full left to full right with the wheels off the

ground. Be sure to keep fluid full.

 It is recommended to get a complete alignment. We recommend increasing caster to 3-4 degrees positive.
