Thanks for the reply SIPLOWGUY. I do not know what the sector shaft is. I gave the unit a cursory look when I got home, and now I'm even wondering if there's a hole in one of the hoses. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

Hello gents. In my travels today in the 67 Newport Custom, I began to smell a strange smell. It turns out it was power steering fluid. I put the car on the lift when I got home, and it looks like there's a blown seal in the steering box. What's the fix? Do I have to remove the box and have...

Welcome to the site! Here's my '67 Newport Custom, 383 2bbl. I bought it out of Columbus, OH 6 years ago, as you see it, for $1250. I put another 6-7K into it. The site has been an invaluable resource for me and the Newport and my '65 New Yorker.
