I need some help on this one. I think I could rig it up, but wanted to check here first...
69 Nova w/ original manual steering box. I am using a "Serpentine belt" accessory drive from a 99 Vortec engine (water pump & alternator, passenger side bracket). At the moment I do not have the driver-side bracket mounted that has the PS pump and A/C compressor, but I have them available.
I want to add the factory-replacement Power Steering box (Nova Parts | P18502 | 1965-76 QUICK RATIO POWER STEERING GEAR BOX | Classic Industries), but...
I don't think I can add this complete kit because I don't see a "serpentine" type pulley available for the factory steering box (1968-74 Chevy 2 Nova, Power Steering Conversion Kit 19429)
So if I use the '99 Serpentine Power Steering Pump that matches my current setup, my main concern is pressure from the Power Steering Pump on the '99 Serpentine system going to the '69 steering box, although it will be new/reman. Will this new style pump have too much/too little pressure and mess up the old style steering box? I assume it isn't hard to get new PS lines made with the correct size fittings for the "flare pressure ports" ?
Or is there a better option in this case? Any advice is appreciated
