read on the old forum that a great steering setup it a Chevy Astro van. cause they got 2 knuckles in them and when your nose goes north then it will have more bend.

Will a GM power steering pump mount onto a 318? it could probably be made to fit but it would be easier to use the 318 ps pump and get a high pressure line made or use adapter fittings to make the 318 ps line screw into a gm box...or if your just wantin to know if a gm pump will work on a 318 for whatever reason anything can be made to work with enough fabrication..just have to make a bracket and make sure it lines up enough to keep a belt on it...hope this helps |

Im sure i can Jerryrig something up. if not, it looks like i will be running manual steering  |

80,s model mopars have saginaw steering pumps like gms just use the adapter fitting from a gm pump and gm lines with the mopar pump and brackets not hard to do at all

Will a GM power steering pump mount onto a 318? I dis the opposite of what you are asking a few years ago, a mopar pump on a 350. It worked just fine just make sure the brackets you use are strong enough not to flex under engine load and toss the belt. |

Are there any gm or bop vehicles that have longer spindle's (including vans and trucks) i'm looking to gain height in the front end and i need it to look stock. Its for a stock derby. I plan on kicking the springs also to help.

Can anybody tell me more about the astro steering setup? I dont know if I got the wrong one or Im missing something. I got the shaft and ujoints off of a 1990 and the size and slines dont match anything on the car, a 76 chevy.
