Hello All,
I'm back to the fountain of knowledge. I have a 1968 Mustang with a 289 engine with factory power steering. I have a leak where the power steering pressure hose meets the control valve. All the fluid has pretty much leaked out and I have a new hose on order.
My questions:
1. Can I take the power steering belt off and drive without it so I don't burn out the near
empty power steering pump?
2. Will this cause damage to the rest of the power steering system to drive with no pressure?
3. Will my alternator belt be enough to drive the fan and water pump? (I'm assuming the water pump is in line with the fan...)
I've attached pictures of the belt system to help whoever is kind enough to answer my questions.
Thanking you in advance,
Jack
