Thanks for your great videos over the years. I’m out of Southern California. And I’m 61yrs old. I’ve been working and building cars since I was a teenager with my dad R.I.P. from Lowriders to Hot Rods. I only wish we had RUclips back in the early 70’s. But it’s never to late to teach an old dog new tricks. Keep making those videos great job.😊🎉😇🙏🏽👍
Thanks for all your hard work in producing this video! Tons of great information, and I can’t wait to do this upgrade on my 67 coupe. One constructive comment though, I don’t think the video needed music at all. It was really loud and super distracting. Otherwise, great job! Thanks again!
Once again, Bill, a nice clear install. I don't have the shop, tools or skill to do it myself but it is good to see the whole process and know there is no real "magic" involved, just good shop, tools, equipment, and skills, which is way more $$$ to acquire than a resto-shop install would/or should cost!! Thanks. Yep, the "music" adds nothing good to this, but not going to obsess about it!!
I remember reading your catalog as a teen. You folks help me put three Mustangs over the years. I look forward to building three more and with your videos, I can do larger jobs like this one.
Keep in mid if you're switching over a manual steering car you're going to need a fan pulley from a power steering car.. I overlooked that on my install. Other than that this system went right on my 69 fastback.. can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the vid Bill, it helped a lot.
As an international customer, I've been purchasing lots of restoration parts from CJPP despite having the worst customer service in the industry, according to some reviews. I did have my fair share of zero customer service and yet I ordered the parts. Other restorers here had the same complain about CJPP. I'm now restoring a 69 Mustang Mach 1 and will need parts. Are you guys ready with some good customer service? If not, I'll just go elsewhere and delete CJPP from my list once and for all. Looking through the comments, I noticed that CJPP had not responded to any of them for years apart from 6 or 7 of them.
What is the best power steering fluid to use in this set up? Instructions said use petroleum base power. Steering fluid’s only. I didn’t find that. Very helpful.
Mr. Wayne, if you can compose some great tunes and share them for free, I sure would enjoy hearing them. This could be a great opportunity for you - for all of us.
Since this is a unique "Center-Take-Off" Rack and Pinion, what device does that rack use to hold thee center moving housing from rotating from up or down? I did see a large set screw in the bottom center of the housing. Is this an internal flat-preload guide control for keeping the center of the housing from dropping with the weight of the guide bar and both tie-rods from dropping down? Otherwise, this would cause a "Bump-Steer" issue if it moves. Thanks for any info! ASE Master Tech since 1978-Retired. My son has 72 Cougar with big block, installed with large shoe spoon! Perhaps a future project with the old man? Maybe...
How do you adjust the rack. It came very sloppy out of the box. To what tolerances do you tighten the rack when its installed? To avoid arm movement or over tightening. Is there a video on the rack adjutment?
Why do the gold anodized fittings on the outer ends if the tierods hang down so low? Seems as though they would be very susceptible to damage. Can they be mounted to the top of the knuckle for better ground clearance?
What headers is that, used in this Mustang with 351C? My Hooker headers (from the '80s) nearly rests on the steering box. So much room to pass the u-joint steering shaft with this one.
@@cjponyparts Thanks I love the Mach I. I didnèt think it was bad 40 years ago but after driving newer cars with a rack the old wondering steering System just donèt cut it.
Your install on the 69 looks great. I have 1968 Small Block 302 w/AFR heads and old air airconditioning. The A/C compressor mounts to the left head. will this interfear with the P/S pump mounting? My wife can't wait to drive my pony and neither can I on long trips.
Ciao Bill, at 24:20 of the video you indicate the part (steering rods I think), could you tell me the reference code or the direct purchase link? Thank you. 🙂
Does anyone know if this kit is the same for a 70 Torino/Ranchero Cyclone/Montego? If you lift the hoods theyre all identical appearing as the Mustangs with the shock towers and all. They all use the same control arm suspension and bump steer/leak riddled power steering components.
We have several options on our website but this is the big block 1970 kit. www.cjponyparts.com/total-control-products-power-rack-and-pinion-conversion-big-block-1970/p/TCPRCKP314/
+Bill Tumas Thanks Bill, I'm installing the manual rack in my 70' with a 351C 4V and I'm having clearance issues with the Patriot headers I have. Thanks for the info.
+Maiky Reiter I have a T5 with Ford Powertrain headers on now. I did have Patriot exhaust headers on but they didn't work with the TCP rack and pinion.

It feels like I’m at a Venom concert !!
Much better, more fun to drive. Great video Bill.
I like the sound of the engine at 30:01 way better than the music.
Good day great video but the music is a bit distracting sorry to complain
I stopped watching it for that reason.
Awesome seeing you guys doing some work on vintage iron!

Good and informative video
But why destroy it with the noise of unnecessary music

Guys! the same music for every install is wearing. Get some Fleetwood Mac going or somthin. =)
+Anthony Wayne If you want to pay the royalties we would be happy to :)
+Bill Tumas Such a shame EVERYTHING seems to get back to "money" Thanks for the reply. I am crazy about this program.

@@myoneblackfriend3151 Not a composer...oh well.
C’mon get rid of the annoying music
be sure to chase all the threads as the coating process will change the thread diameter!
You should use some lock tight
Maybe use a plastic hammer next time on that column when you need to hit something on

With the tie rod ends on such an angle, how is the bump-steer with that set up?
I would be interested to see if this kit would work on a 68 Fairlane. It shares a lot with the Mustangs of the same era.
+MartyTate76 They do not list the Fairlane on the application chart.

Noticing for the first time he’s not in the garage as it seems, it’s a green screen. Only took me like 75 installation videos to figure that one out
lol. It's an actual shop, the bricks are a vinyl wrap though. We very rarely use green screen.
@@cjponyparts hahaha, got to stop watching these then, i’m going crazy
I have a 1968 cougar with 557 with mad dog headers and motor mounts with this kit fit?
I’ve one of these installed and it leaks like a sieve, can the seals be replaced?
Will this fit a 1970 4 barrel Cleveland with big tube Hooker Headers. Or does it need a custom set to clear the Rack!
Most headers will clear the rack, this car has since had a stroker Cleveland built and runs long tubes with no issue.

Would this kit fit on a 1970 ford maverick with the 6inline engine?

thanks for all the great vids guys. Do you think this is worth the extra money over upgrading the factory style system? Thanks
Will this work seamlessly in a 1968 Mustang with a 351W?
Another great informative video Bill ! Can I use my existing pump on my 66 with this kit.
What does this cost.?. For a 68 Mustang GT with a 289eng.
hi, i would like to know if the bearing retainer is included with the pinion kit... thanks

Hey Bill,
With an empty engine bay ('69 428 CJ), and not installing a new firewall seal, is it necessary to pull the steering column? Thank you.
Are they rose joints for the tie rod ends? I don't they permit those in Australia for some unknown reason.
What headers are those?
It's been quite a few years but I think they are Dougs.
Z-bar manual.. did I see that correctly? All Rack kits I've seen require Hydraulic Slave refit.
Yes this is a 4 speed car with the original linkage. - Bill
You sure bashed up that nice blue, aluminum bearing retainer cap...use a rubber mallet. The music sucks
Funny. All the parts he's removing are new.
Music absolutely sucks! Almost makes vid unbearable to watch.
Is Rack and Pinion a nice option for an EV conversion?
Do you have a part number for this kit?
We have several options on our website but this is the big block 1970 kit. www.cjponyparts.com/total-control-products-power-rack-and-pinion-conversion-big-block-1970/p/TCPRCKP314/
CJ Pony Parts thank you, does this come with the power steering pump and lines?
Great video. Very informative. But the music sucks
Running o2 censors? Really?
TCP rack and pinion doesn't improve the inherent 'less than perfect' Mustang geometry. You still have bump-steer be it less tiresome.
Because of the location of any aftermarket rack and pinion you can still have bumpsteer issues, we offer several kits from TCP to help correct this.
Bill, what make are those headers?
+Alb3113 Onni Ford Powertrain Applications
+Bill Tumas
Thanks Bill, I'm installing the manual rack in my 70' with a 351C 4V and I'm having clearance issues with the Patriot headers I have. Thanks for the info.
+Alb3113 do you have manual trans ? can't find headers to fit mine ,70 351 4v manual transmission
+Alb3113 do you have manual trans ? can't find headers to fit mine ,70 351 4v manual transmission

I have a T5 with Ford Powertrain headers on now. I did have Patriot exhaust headers on but they didn't work with the TCP rack and pinion.
One glaringly obvious problem here. You have lost just about all of the collapsing steering column capability
solution is an air bag or don't be the one to rear end someone.
LDN Wholesale are you saying the original column was collapsible?
Video was good, but seriously degraded due to the annoying music.
You keep putting all these upgrades on, you no longer have a classic car , just buy a new one 😢 .
This guy must be a women's tennis player.
please explain the theory behind this comment?
