Manual to Power Steering Conversion on a 1968 1st Gen Camaro/Firebird!

When I converted mine, I used the Z/28 mounting brackets in case I put a stroker motor in my car. Strokers require an 8 inch balancer, which is the same size the 302's used, so the brackets will clear the bigger balancer. I didn't use the deeper groove pulleys though and really don't need them anyway. I used pulleys from a '68 327 Impala. Everything worked out, and I will never have a car without power steering again. It was an upgrade I highly recommend.

Good info Kenny! I'm surprised at how easy it is to drive it now.

The pitman arm went right in. Is it indexed

[@FlatheadTerry]

Great question Johnny! Yes, it is indexed so it can only go on one way.

Hey, any tips on converting a 1969 camaro big block with headers to power steering?? Have you ever done one?

[@FlatheadTerry]

Hey, I haven't done your specific configuration but have heard that Detroit Speed Part # 090215DS and possibly Speed Tech boxes would work on F bodies.

[@7676-v8n]

@@FlatheadTerry right on....ya I am just worried about header clearance with the steering box.. my exhaust is all welded and I would prefer not to mess with it. Hate to buy a kit and it not fit. Anyway, thanks for the reply.. good video.

[@joeysolis4900]

Is this a whole compete kit or you buy it all separately

[@FlatheadTerry]

I bought everything individually because I already had an original P/S pump with the pulley attached. It took me awhile to figure out what mounting brackets I needed for the P/S Pump. I would recommend getting a kit to save time getting all the correct brackets and fittings.
