Getting Things Done!

Exhaust system modifications for steering: Labyrinthine left leg lengthening completed and welded up, gasket replaced, 2" stainless lap clamp at joint, Done!

Did you ever see such a crazy pipe?

They look even but the left pipe really hangs lower than the
right. Always has, even before I lengthened it.

Power steering system: Mount modifications completed, pump installed, Gates 7480 belt installed, reservoir mounted, hoses installed, filled, bled, functional, no leaks, Done!

Heavy angle plus parts from the Flaming River Chevy mount.

The turnbuckle is a very tight fit and barely clears the
alternator belt.

Hoses routed. I don't much care for this type of hose,
but it seems durable.

Pump, hoses and reservoir (next to the radiator).

Started the engine. We have power to the brakes, power to the steering, heat to the underseat register. Best of all, the engine is QUIET now with the new damper.
