Power steering pump disaster

[david edwards]

Gardner:
While you're working on the pump over the cold months,
you might want to consider some upgrades to the whole
system. I have some pictures here of what I did to
mine. FC power steering systems run too hot. (put an
infrared thermometer on the reservoir after driving),
partly because the low pressure lines run close to
the exhaust manifold. I replaced all my lines with
high temperature lines, insulated them with firesleeve
where they pass by the manifold, doubled the size of
the reservoir and added a cooler. Reduced running
temperatures by about 100 degrees.
