steering box question.
the question I have, the power steering hose connection ports on this steering box are pointed down toward the ground. This makes the running of the hoses somewhat awkward. Question is, can this be correct, would this inhibit getting the air out of system? Can this part of the steering box be installed wrong after being rebuilt? In other words, can the 4 bolts be removed and simply rotate the input shaft housing 90 degrees and reattach hoses? The reason for the question is I have never seen in all the photos on line, a box with lines going anywhere but upward. Thanks for your help in advance. |

Yes. I installed the 302 I had built for another truck. The existing engine was torn up. It was a 351M with a 4spMT. I went out and purchased a small block bell housing to mate the two. The vin # F14HUDJ1923 It is a regular cab.

Looking at the parts photos from parts sites, they do point downward like that.I can try to go get a look at the 78 F150 4x4 I have and get some pics maybe.

That is the correct box
Getting the air out of the system is done by turning the wheels back and forth, while the pump is being driven. It bleeds itself.
