re: steering.
I just inherited a 70 Mach 1 and the PS system is in sad shape. I was told that the fluid will come out of the piston on the ram most often, beyond the usual loose fittings it's a common leak. I've got more problems than the ram, the hoses are out of place and the pump just doesn't look correctly bracketed; if it'll help I'll let you know what I find on my car when I crawl under it this weekend.
I found everything can be had at NPD online, and the correct stuff, too... for a price (actually not as bad as I thought). download the catalog, it's got drawings to help sort everything out. A good Haynes or Chilton book does wonders too.
