Finally Put Electric Power Steering In My Dart

Inquiring minds want to know. I have a newer car with electric PS, and it works flawlessly. The PS in my 69 is a little sloppy and that is with a completely rebuilt front end and a rebuilt steering box. I would be interested. I hope @superchargeddrt posts some more information and pictures.

I will take a few more pictures when I get back home from this business trip. I used the Flaming River kit. (about $1,500.00). I know a lot of people say you can do this on the cheap by using the motor assembly out of a Toyota Prius but I didn't want to take any chances. The kit comes with the motor, motor driver box and a sensitivity control. This kit also allows for the installation of a wheel or driveshaft sensor so you can cut down the assist when moving (I haven't bought into that yet, lets see how it feels on the road. I'm just waiting for a dry day). You will also have to buy a D shaft coupler and a universal joint from Borgeson (another $100.00). The only downside I have is that, try as we might, we couldn't mount the motor under the dash without blocking my floor vent. It only opens about an inch now. My buddy Larry also made some side covers for my gauge panel as I just Velcroed my control box to the carpet. I'll post the pictures of that now as they're on my phone.
