Default Electric Power Steering.

Is electric power steering any good on 34 ford Tudor? Mine has rack and pinion and turns pretty heavy. What happens when power is lost? Does it still have manual steering?

I can't say how well it fits or any specifics about installation in a '34. I CAN tell you that if power is lost it just acts like manual steering...no problem.

It will take a little more effort when the power is off, there are gears and motor to turn, I modified a aftermarket electric power steering unit to work on a fancy low speed electric vehicle
