My friend has a '73 V-8 Mav with Manual steering. I've driven it and I hate it...
: OK heres the deal.....
: My "mary" scares the hell outta me any time we go over 100mph.
: she has all new front end a new PS cyclinder, control valve, pump,and suspension.
: I tightened up the steering gear and that helped a little. The problem seems to be in the design of the PS control.
: there is movement of the steering gear arm before the control valve moves enough to assist the steeing.
: PS is nice at low speeds and in parking lots but I have this "need for speed!!!"
: I have all the necessary parts to convert it to manual steering and I am going to be putting disc brakes on the front soon so I'd like to do all the front end work at once.
: My Question? I need an opinion and/or feed back from people who have driven a V8 mav w/out PS.
: Any 2 cents is appreciated
