    I am changeing my 74 mav from manual steering to power steering. I have parts off of a 76. Problem that I am having is that I need the center link. Also the idler arm on the car has the stud coming off of it. I need one that has a hole instead of the stud to do the hook up. Can anyone help me out with this? Also I am going to power brakes. I have the power brake system off of a 76. The problem there is the mounting of the power booster. Is there a plate that I need? How can I solve this problem?

    I have all the parts to put a power steering on your car if you are interested. You know where I live. :)

    On the brakes....there is a mounting bracket that you need for the power booster. I don't have any...But I can show you what it looks like.

    For the power brake set up you need the whole pedal assembly along with the mounting plate.

    I have the pedal assembly. The only thing left I need to find is the mounting plate for the booster. Anyone have one?

    I could use some of your old parts

    A company called autokrafter may have the parts your looking for. Also I sent you an email but I wanted to ask here as well if you have your old parts I could use your old Pittman Arm. It looks like an L but it should bend down about two inches. If your part looks like that please let me know if you want to sell it my email is darrell.popovich@sprintnet.net thank you.
