I think after reading all the comments that I will use the 78 rack as a core for a later rack. I have found a rebuild one  for about $75.00. I still don't know about the hoses. Are the newer rack Metric?  Do I need to reduce the pressure for the later racks ? Where did ED get the Borgeson pressure reducer for $17.00 ? and one other question is the u-joint I have for a manual rack the same for the power rack ?
Thanks, Rick Harris.

THANKS FOR THE INFO. Any idea about the hoses ?
THANKS AGAIN , RICK HARRIS.

This may be an old topic, but it is new to me. I want to put a power rack on my mustang II front end ( great winter project and I am not getting any younger). I have a manual rack that is working fine except it is very hard to turn while parking. I have the steering shaft with the u-joints at a very small angle.  I have a 1978 Mustang II power rack laying on the garage floor that I would like to use with a Chevy pump. I have a small block Chevy with a short water pump and I plan to use the stock power steering brackets form a 68 Chevy. I understand that is an issue of the pump putting out about 1000# pressure and the rack needing a lot less like 700-800 #. I have been told to take out the pressure relief spring and cut off about 1/3 of it and that will make the pressure right.  
Now my question ? Is that correct info ?  What pressure and return hoses should I use ? I would like to know part# and what car they are for.  Also this is going on my 36 Dodge which is a Street  Rod and not a show car.  
I want to thank you for your help in advance.
