Hi Jim,

Thanks for that information.

.........and if you go back to bias ply 6.70 x 15's on your Stude rims, you don't need PS at all......pricey, but looks much better than radials IMHO.......Now do we get into the "Driver's Club discussion".... ? On the few cars that I've had, and on all trucks, where my mileage was <1000 miles /yr, I use bias ply tires....Heck,, why the radials ? Trucks don't like radials anyway....I would put radials out back only....including snows...Last edited by jackb; 02-04-2014, 05:30 AM.

My 63 Lark is a convertible, hence the change in steering box for power steering. My bad, if I steered you wrong. I'll check this out when I get back to my office and my manuals.

BTW Fixing the power steering pump and control valve is much easier than replacing the steering box, I changed my Lark's manual steering to power steering and had to change the steering box to a 20:1 vs the manual 24:1. Steering boxes are signified by the embossment on the side of the steering box ie: Type S , Type SL etc.
You may find re-building the steering box more challenging than fixing your power steering system.

Removing the power streering from a 1962 lark V8
I want to remove the power steering from my 1962 Lark. Will pulling the pump and disconnecting the power ram turn it into manual steering?
I have a parts car for the manual pitman arm.
ThanksTags: None
