My ‘71 has a single wire coming out of my non functioning tachometer with an L connector on the end.  It’s approx 2’ long.  Am I suppose to get an extension to get it to the +side of the coil?  Is that all there is?  Thanks

Steering leak update! The leak has stopped! Although I tightened the fitting as much as I could, the leak persisted, and not knowing what I should do, short of removing the steering Box and replacing the seat, a friend of mine told me that being a high pressure hose, the fitting had to be very...

Ok.  I’ll dress it and reinstall.  If that doesn’t work, I’ll try the seat change option.  I don’t like thee idea of removing the box, but I do want to do it correctly.  I’ll have to look for instructions or a video on changing the seat.  Thanks for your input.

I was considering lightly dressing the face of the flair and using a nylon or other soft washer to see if it seals.  If I replaced the seat, Can it be done without removing the box?

Is the stock box a Saginaw? Or is that an aftermarket item?   Thanks

I actually used a sink faucet wrench to break the nut loose..   I used a cutoff 11/16 wrench after that.  It is hard to get at!

Interesting!  Thanks

Thanks, but my problem is a leak at the steering box end, not the pump end.

Hmmm. Just looked at the flare pic. I do see what looks like a small ding on the surface

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to see if I can get a closer look at the brassy area. You would think that if that was the case though, that there would be a notch, burr or something showing on the flared surface. Sure don’t want to change steering box! ?

On the pressure hose fitting where it threads into the steering box, I have a leak.   I have removed it, checked the threads, everything looks fine.  Re-installed & tightened it, still leaks!  Is ther suppose to be an o ring there?  I have looked at pictures of the hose and they do not show...

Got that last message. Thanks!

Thank You Rktmn, that dwg will be very helpful. My Stang is in the shop this week getting a rear adjustment, but I’ll let you know how the tach hookup goes.
