Very ingenious! I like that it doesn't add a belt or pulleys.

What is the world coming to? Power steering on a flat head, that is the most asinine thing I have ever head of, how are flathead drivers that have arms like Popeye ever going to be able to control power steering, the next thing you know they will want to use 12 volt batteries and turn signals and brakes that work! What in the world is going on?

These guys have a number of new and innovative products. One I used was their banjo fuel line fittings for the 97's.

interesting article.

I think what this guy has is a 53 merc Flatty not a ford? it has a power steering pump on it, does anyone one know if this looks like the original from 53? it's been for sale a while and probably will be at that price!
