Bryce,
It's good to see that you've survived the autocross with your new steering. What I'm dying to know is how your 8:1 ratio feels driving through town; is it survivable, or do you have more changes in line as a result of the driving experience thus far? Have you tried it out on a twisty/coast road or anything? I'm kind of thinking that a 1.5:1 quickener (which I'm thinking might result in about 15:1) might be the hot (or maybe mild) ticket for my manual Unisteer some time down the road... Thanks!

So I bought a roller bearing conversion kit for my idler arm. I was then surprised to find out the old idler arm off my dads mustang already has a roller conversion. My dad owned the car since 1964, so there is only two options for the conversion. Ford did this on k-model mustangs or this was done very early on in the msutangs life by my grandpa's alignment buddy.
I guess I do not have to do that conversion.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

I have not been on in a while. busy working and buying parts.
After a long delay I finally recieved my KRC power steering pump.
I also am switching over to a electric water pump.

During:
After:
I blocked off the bypass by cutting off the hose barb and tapping it to 1/8 npt.
I am now working on the wiring. Im putting a new fuse block and relay in the glove box.
The altenator will be switching sides. My canton crank pulley is on order. Its a double v-groove pulley.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

How reliable are those electric water pumps? I would like to run one but it would be unacceptable if it all of a sudden fails

They have a limited life just like anything else. My dad has been running one for the last 3 years with no issues. Being able to cool the engine with the motor off is an awesome advantage. Plus this was the cleanest and easiest way to drive the power steering pump.

How many turns lock to lock for your steering now with that setup?

Finally figured out the locations for the new alternator and the power steering pump. It is not the usuall but looks really good. I should have some brackets designed next week and my new smaller alternator next week too.

It's always cool to get a little ink. Congrats on a cool picture of your car Bryce.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - Holy cow - what a ride!!!
See my build
