Hello All. So there I am last Saturday, working on my 66 Mustang suspension/steering. I ordered a kit to replace everything up front, and I got it all in. I started the steering Friday and got every thing off (drag link, idler arm, tie rods) I placed the new parts next to the old parts, noticed they didn't look alike at all. Oh no! I figured the company had sent me power steering parts when I asked for manual. Got some catalogs out, looked at pictures of steering parts. What do you know? My Mustang, a confirmed V-8, came down the line and they put 6 cylinder steering on my car. My old idler arm, pittman arm, drag link, and tie rods are all 6 cyl pieces. I know that in 65 they were running short on V-8 engines, apparently that isn't all they ran short of. The car always drove fine, though I'm sure I'll notice a difference when I get it back on the road.
