Re: l83 gen v in a 68 c10

Nice work, can you comment on how the Canev electric power steering pump is working; and also how the factory Ac compressor is working ( vintage air unit) or is the airconditioner the stock setup with the truck?

Re: l83 gen v in a 68 c10

sure, the canev setup works well, it does have a little heavier feel to the wheels than your typical engine driven pump but not bad at all. its kinda cool to have power steering with just the key turned on.... The factory ac compressor is plumbed into my vintage air setup, it works great! I had some issues with the lines leaking a bit at the connection block after having them modified to fit the system but other than that its been working like a champ!
