'61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.
Hi. I have a '61 Mercury Monterey...I believe it and the Ford Galaxie share the same power steering system components. I'm guessing I'm more likely to encounter Galaxie owners than Monterey owners from that year, hence my title, but anyone who can help will be appreciated. Engine is a 352.
I'm having NO luck finding a new or NOS power steering pressure hose replacement (from pump to control valve.) I've checked all the online vendors I'm aware of, all the local stores, all the hydraulic places in town (to see if they can fab a replacement) but to no avail. I've been able to get all the other hoses from vendors, but not the pump to valve pressure hose. Have any of you been able to find one recently? If so, where?
I'm putting new components in, so I thought I'd replace all the hoses while I'm at it. The original pressure hose isn't leaking, so I'll just have to clean it off and reuse it if I can't find a new one. THANKS!
