Bendix Power Steering

Does anyone have an opinion on the Bendix power steering? I have an opportunity to purchase a complete setup and was checking to see if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks

Reviews are mixed. I really like mine, but I know it's limitations. If you are going to be doing a lot of towing. Particularly a lot of turning back and forth with the trailer you have to hook up an external oil cooler. Also hook up a filter while you are at it. Mine leaks a little, but I am replacing the seals this weekend.

Check out this website. This guy seems to have covered all the bases:

I posted quite a bit of research on the Bendix and Ford power steering setups. Search on my name, and in the '61 - '66 forums for more information.

Where are you getting the seals for the gearbox? I looked all over the place and couldnt find them anywhere so i ended up going to a local hydraulic store and finding seals that matched but it still leaks even after i replaced them.
