Title: Power steering piston for Manhattan
Post by: tplante on November 11, 2014, 05:02:51 PM

Does anyone know if the power steering piston on the Manhattan was used on any other cars? I can't seem to get mine to stop leaking at the power valve.

AMC and Ford used a similar system.    Mostly it's just "O" rings - but it's possible the piston is worn.   

I know Dennis Carpenter sells seal kits for the early Fords.     Best of luck !!!

Also plenty of places that rebuild them for you.
