Finally finished the Rack and Pinion Steering conversion on the 1973 Ford Mustang project affectionately called "Large Marge"!
The kit installed on this muscle car is from Total Control Products and is a bolt-in fit for all other year Mustangs and recently Chris Alston's Chassiworks designed and added the few pieces it takes to adapt this to the 1971-1973 model year Pony cars.
It does take mild fabrication skills to complete this install. You'll have to cut the lower cross-member and weld in a few mounting plates but if you check out the video, you'll find it to be a fairly straight forward affair (even I could do it).
I even run through the complete install and connection of the TCP rack and pinion splined steering input shaft to the Flaming River Tilt Steering column 3/4" DD shaft using billet universal joints.
There's still more to do since the engine isn't in the car yet. I'll have to run plumbing from the steering pump to the Rack and Pinion unit and will also install a line pressure regulator to dial in the pressure.
This is a really big deal for the build up of this car, since the suspension is such high quality parts, it made sense to finish off the steering with modern technology as well.
Check out the ET Wheels and how I'm dialing in the stance of the car...it's getting close. An inch down in the front or an inch up in the rear should just about do it... let me know what you think in the comments.
Stay tuned for the next phase of the build as I try to get the engine and transmission in next!

Thanks for watching!
