So, I have a question. I have a 66 Bronco with a 1974 302. It has manual steering rack and manual steering box but does have the power steering pump on it. I got it running again today and at least got to drive it a bit, but it was running hot, about 220-230. The power steering pump started leaking shooting fluid all over and making a metal on metal scratching noise that varied with the RPMs of the motor. Is there a bracket to delete the power steering pump? The power steering pump inlet and outlet are connected to each other so it's just recycling hot fluid back into it Which I think caused it to overheat the fluid. If there is a bracket that will still spin the crank and take off the power steering pump that would be what I would want to do for now. Any help on if I am correct on the pump overhearing and if there is a delete for the pump would be appreciated.
