So, I've been having issues with my steering for a while and finally have the time to tear my 60 apart and swap out the steering gear box and pump. I got a couple of good replacements from Georg a while back. Since I'm taking this stuff apart, is there anything else you guys think I should address/replace while I'm in there?
In addition to that, because of the amount of play in the steering, I have not driven her much in the last few months. Last night I drove her about 40 miles at approximately 65-70 mph. She drove great, nice and smooth with no issues at all. Water temp and oil pressure were all normal. As I was slowing down to turn on my street, the engine died. I turned it back on, but it would not idle. On the second attempt, I got it to stay on with the choke engaged. The water temperature went all the way up and the engine felt as if it didn't have any power (I don't know how else to describe it). I pulled to the side of the street and opened the engine compartment to see if it had leaked any coolant. I looked at the radiator over flow, but it was empty. I slightly opened the radiator cap, which had pressure, but nothing major. What do you guys think? Any ideas what it could be? My P/S pump was leaking pretty bad for a while. Could that leak have affected any other components?
