    Hopefully I'm right when I say, any power steering from a Maverick or Comet will interchange. The only thing that is specific to your car will be the power steering pump mounting bracket. It's specific to the size of your engine. When I do my swap I'll need a bracket for a 200 cu in. I'm taking it off of a 250 cu in & the brackets are different. If I'm wrong, someone on here will point it out.....

    Thats right. If you can find a parts car that has power steering you can take the steering linkage, power steering pump and brakets and steering gear box. Take note on the power steering hoses, if they are hooked up to a cooler than take the cooler also.

    Coop a 250 power steering bracket will not fit on a 200. I still have one for you.
