factory power steering


how many guys use the power steering from 62-67 chevy2-acadian? im trying to install in 67 chevy2 style and first one i had was from a 62 and the idler arm was messed up then i now got a 67 system and im finding that the pulleys are very hard to find for 6 banger.Seems the water pump one is a toughy to get-Also got a factory sway bar to put in.Anyone gotten through this swap smoothly?Was it worth it? Only driven a p/s chevy 2 once and it was 26 years ago.....blehtimbuk

I may have a couple of those pulley left over from long ago, but I would also need a pic to refresh my memory. Am I right in thinking the alternator pulley is dual also?

i found some really good pics on 1947-present forums i searched power steering pulleys and a bunch of pics came up there is alot of different setups out there I found a double pulley in a truck out back and it works.Plus I got the ram in and it all switched over.Now I need to make up a high pressure hose and see how it works.I havent heard much good about these p/s setups but its for the wife.I replyed to the guy with the 605 kit but no word yet
