It's called

Z-Doc's

And I don't need no stinkin a/c pump. I have 2-60 air. I'm cool enough as it is.

Like they say, couldn't hurt. You could probably pick up the Mustang unit fairly cheap at the junkyard. I see the old 5.0's in the 'yards' all the time.

I know, Steven.

the plan is to re-do the hoses with the correct lengths later. I'll probably put in a cooler then. It shouldn't be hard, because it's on the return side which is low pressure. I might just put some springs on the hard lines that go along the rack to act like fins. The rack is on the crossmember and exposed to air, so that'll help too. Since it's a stronger unit altogether, only the higher RPMs should affect the oil, so I'll be watching the oil colour for a while.

thanks for the discussion.

After some checking in my service manuals, I notice that Datsun/Nissan didn't use a cooler in their power steering cars. 810's, ZX's, and early Maximas didn't have them. But, if Ford thought to put them in their cars, it might be better to have one since you are using a Ford unit.
