Bogster, I've fitted the DAX power steering and I have a mechanical fuel pump as well. No problems with the lower steering shaft clearance, (the shaft is the same as non power steering version anyway) It's close but doesn't hit.

The difference in steering effort is amazing. Quiet in operation as well. And easy to fit - which for me is a bonus!

I bought for the second hand set up as I'm a cheapskate!!

I also went for the mechanical fuel pump as I didn't want to have hassle fitting a fuel cutoff etc etc. My 383 was dynoed at 434hp and runs perfectly with an Edelbrock mechanical unit. Dave B said mechanical was the way to go so that's what I went for.

I posted some pics of the lower shaft clearance in an earlier post about mechanical pumps. I can email some to you if you like?

Go for it!!

Cheers

Nick
