Tom,

I'm using a late Mustang power rack. Got the rebuilt one from AGR w/high effort valving, standard ratio (which is plenty quick enough in a Cobra). Got an AGR rebuilt low drag pump too. AGR stated the Ford or GM one would work but they preferred the GM for reliability. I also installed an RB's street rod valve in the pump which emulates the valve used in PS equipped Chevettes.

I needed a PS return line outlet for the rack (Ford), a PS high side line for the rack, and a GM high side line for the pump. Had them shortened and joined at hydraulics shop in Springfield. Fork lift repair hose. Had a new heavy duty driveshaft made next door. (Fullerton Rd.)

The pump bracket I got from a Ford van that uses GM pump. The rest of the bracket I had to make, along with alt bracket. Used a Delco alt. It all works very well, and nobody has jumped on me for having a "Chevy" alternator and power steering pump on a Ford engine in a Cobra.

Welding and industrial machine shop in Alexandria can make anything with a sketch, example, or drawing. They've made motor mounts, trans mounts, alt & PS brackets, bumper brackets, exhaust and heatshield brackets, spinner adapters, etc. Tell 'em it's for your Cobra and they'll tell you aqbout all the other Cobra parts they've made.

There's a chrome plating shop just off 395 in Arlington. Did a lot of odd pieces for me.

Burtonsville Speed & Machine did my engine. They claim most of the cars running at MIR use their engines. Knowledgible folks about Fords. They have an engine dyno facility there too.

Until I got into this project, I, like you, thought the only thing DC is good for is politics and bulls*it. I was mistaken.
