So I know there are some major differneces in the good brake fluids....
So what is a good Power steeing fluid to use ??? ATF ? GM ? Valvoline synth. ? Redline synth. ? I'm getting ready to put a new pump on, and add a cooler, so I will be pretty much filling the system with new fluid... Oh and this is a 3rd gen application if it matters... TIA ~DaVe |

I use a GM P-pump with a 60-series pump ring, and a speed-sensitive metering rod from an old early-nineties Holden application, called the "Code W"metering rod. Otherwise known as a droop flow application, as the flow control valve drops down the bore, the taper on the droop flow metering rod begins pinching off fluid flow in order to restore steering feel. Thus, I get a nice, solid steering at high RPM while also getting maximum assist at low RPM, where I need it most.
Steering cooler is sourced from an early nineties FWD Oldsmobile, I think an Achieva. It sits behind the radiator on the LH side of the car, and it works great. I used to have a ZR1 steering cooler but it was big overkill and didn't fit very well anyway... -- Ask Jeff at Turn One if he remembers a certain Delta College co-op student called Dan Burk, who worked with him in the pump dyno room back in 1991 through 1993....
