My 65 fasback is hard to steer, not as bad as manual steering but not nearly as easy as power should be. Is there a way to adjust the power on the original style set up? thanks; chuck

yeah the force needed to turn he wheel is adjusted in the control valve. take off the dust cover and adjust per ford manual. this nut (used to be lock nut) lossens over time.

You also may need to check you steering box. it may need oil.
