Power steering pump
I am thinking about putting a hydro boost setup on my car so that I can run a bigger cam. I'm trying to figure out the stock power steering pumps pressure. Does anybody have any idea what the stock pumps pressure is?
Re: Power steering pump
Not sure what working pressure is but the max is 250 PSI.
This is a project I've considered mylself because I installed front disc's from a 65/66 and with my stock booster, it's OK but it could have more assist.

Re: Power steering pump
I looked in the manual and found the max pressure is 850. So I believe I will be good. I'm going to do this project this winter when I have the motor out.
Re: Power steering pump
That's strange, my manual had a test procedure that said 250.. That seems low though.
I'd like to hear about how your install goes!

Re: Power steering pump
Thank you for the link. I have read and talk to that gentleman. It should be fine with the stock pump.
