    I see it has a power steering cooler mounted on the driver's side frame rail. Cool.

    That's a rebuilt or aftermarket unit, Ford never painted converters...

    The more I take the car apart , the more questions I have. The Marti report gave me a lot of information. On my 74 maverick the right wheel would spin. This one the left spins an the right kicks in soon after. The car came with ac. But was removed before I purchased it.
