Your right the ignition is a farely strait forward swap.
As for the steering you will need the grear box with pitman arm, center link, idler arm, the Tie Rods are interchangable, all of the pressure stuff and pump and all of the brakets to the engine.
As for the brakes you will need the Spindles, rotors, calipers, new hoses, lines, proportioning valve, master cylinder, vacuum body, shock tower brace, and the pedal assembly.
You should change the upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, brake hoses, power steering hoses, and most all of the other rubber stuff you are changeing over because it will be worn out on the parts car.
Good Luck, Todd.
:
: I have a good cond '73 maverick with a 250. The only problem is it has manual
: drums and manual steering. I bought another maverick a '77 4 door for $100 to use as
: parts. I plan on swapping over the power steering, power disk brakes and electronic
: ignition.
: Has anybody done this before? As far as the steering goes I am sure I need to
: change the gearbox, and some steering linkages to accomodate the slave cyl and of
: course the ps pump and related brackets but will I need to change anything else? Maybe
: the steering column, spindles idler arm?
: As for the power disk brakes, do I need to change over the spindles or can
: I simply replace the drum backing plates with the caliper mounts and then remount the
: rotors and swap the booster, master cyl. etc. etc without removing any ball joints?
: The electronic ignition seems like a fairly simple swap and shouldn't be too
: much trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
