Started the KRC PS pump install. Had to remove the radiator fan, RH tensioner and belt. I’m going to have to run a stretch fit belt for the AC but I’m seriously considering just yanking it.
The kit was very straightforward to install.
This was the moment when I realized I should’ve put the other belt on first. Then the phone rang and I have to go back to work.

Finally got back to the new PS system installation and I’ve all but finished it.
Started by using the electric setup to pump as much of Pentosin out as possible.
I’m almost disappointed that it worked as planned and didn’t make a huge mess. Finished up by making a new high pressure hose and tying the return lines together. Filled the reservoir and fired it up!!
Didn’t get footage of the fluid puking everywhere or the look on my face when the bolts backed out of the WP pulley. It made a huge mess after all.
Sigh… Time to drink beer… I’ll get back to this Sunday!

Today’s resumption of work will include the installation of a front brake cooling setup. Big thanks to @ReplicaR for donating an extra set of inlet ducts to the cause. These will be pop-riveted in place in the outboard inlet. I’m also going to ditch the mesh screens.

you would be amazed how much the mesh can cut down on airflow. When I was in AZ I had an RC airplane field 100 yrds from my house and I started to fly there. At the time the electrically ducted fans/jets were becoming popular and a lot of the guys were flying them as they were fast and loud. One problem we had with them is that the field we flew off of had a decomposed granite runway and while they were taking off they would suck small rocks into the ducts and tear up the fans. A couple of guys put some mesh on the front of the ducts and then were amazed to find that with almost any mesh in front of the ducts that they had problems going fast enough to even take off.

To Lowe’s I go…

Finished the KRC installation and hit the road for a test drive. My initial impression was how much smoother and linear the steering response is now. Now, making rapid left and right maneuvers along with braking while turning are now a non-issue. I need to bleed the hydroboost for it to be perfect but I’m am very hopeful.

Installed anti-rattle clips on the rear pads.
Adjusted the panhard bar to center the rear.
In the middle of installing the five point harness.
Now running out to get a new windshield strip.

After we installed the 2" lowering coils, I snapped this picture with a potato.

Installed a black S-351 wing, which wasn't in the greatest shape and flew off the car. I think.

What a week.. Took off yesterday to finalize a few things on the car prior to a third party tech inspection. Finally added the line to the coolant over flow tank, washed the car and set out to the inspector. Noticed a little water in the floor board but passed it off as wet shoes.
The car passed inspection without any concerns!! Before I headed home, I decided to wipe the water up and quickly realized it was a petroleum based fluid. Power steering fluid.
Fuck.
Didn’t notice anything obvious so I headed home. Half way home, I noticed a few drops on my shoe and I truly became concerned. This is just my luck.
It’s leaking from the seal on the other side of this boot where the piston rod attached to the booster unit.
Demoralized but undeterred, I’ve scoured the internet for a replacement. Several calls to Mustang recyclers later, I found little hope.
However… I found on locally at Advance Auto Parts and will scoop that up after picking my buddies trailer up after work.

As I arrived to retrieve the trailer, it was being hooked to a Silverado. As it turned out, the owners Suburban broke down. So, I waited there for a little over an hour to pick it up.
Not a big deal. Helped them get the burb into the yard and set out for Advance Auto Parts to pick my new booster up….
Or so I thought.
It wasn’t the right part and I was pretty bummed out. It was for a damn power stroke truck. Dejected, I drove home and drank a few beers. Found yet another booster at Vatozone and I will pick it up midday today.
