    radiator dimensions?

    he has tried it with the original rad, plus an extra home-made st/st expansion tank in the valley , which worked, but he is now fitting a massive four barrel carb on it, and there is no room for the st/st tank, so he wants to put a thicker radiator in, but with roughly the same width and height

    how do you totally change steering fluid

    surely , if you suck out the fluid in the reservoir, you leave the old stuff in the pump, pipes, and box, what about, putting a small tube, onto the steering box bleed nipple,undoing it, and run the engine , turning the steering,keeping the reservoir topped up? would that work?
