Will a power steering box from a '73 malibu fit into my '70 SS? I currently have manual steering and am looking to change over to power steering. I was hoping to get everything from the '73 (pump, hoses, and box)and install it on my '70 with BB brackets. Possible? Thanks for the help. You guys rock!

yes the box will bolt to your frame and the pump will work with the proper brackets. The pitman arm from the manual will not bolt to the PS box. You will need one with the same center to center hole spacing and the correct offset. I do not know if the 73 arm is right, but you can compare it to the existing one. I have several with the hole spacing of 5 1/2" if you need one that size. 64-67 use a 5" spacing.
