power steering 65 comet

Any one install a power reducing valve from heigts, to reduce pressure from power steering pumps on mustangs and comets. to give more road feel. thanks

believe speedway sells a reducing valve

There's a number of those valves available. The Heidt's valve I have has a return line, not all do that. Don't know if it's a big deal. Mine is to reduce pressure to a R&P designed for a lower output that the pump I'm using. I don't know if they improve feel on factory systems, they just took the "twitchy" out of mine.

Anyone know if this would work on a '57 T Bird? The power steering has always been what I call twitchy also.

Make sure ALL the existing suspension, steering parts and wheel alignment are 100% before adding / changing something that may not fix the actual problem. If the car has bias-ply style tires they can easily be part of the problem too.
(if you can find one) Having an old-school guy do an inspection at a good alignment or frame shop could be worth the money.
