Power Steering Cap
« on: March 04, 2015, 01:44:33 PM »
Is this the correct power steering cap for a 1966 Mustang 289 Auto? Thank You.

There are 2 versions, one for slanted neck and one for straight neck.  The slanted has a dip-stick.

Charles is correct about the two versions. I don't think you can tell the difference if they're on the pump.

Believe the dip-stick style has a rivet top with an 'S' and the other has a crimped rivet style like shown in the pic.  I might have them reversed.

Thank you very much. Now I know that I have the correct cap for the straight neck pump.

Slanted neck is on AC cars correct?

66 and 65's use the same style caps?

Here is the cap on my 65 slanted neck PS.

Pretty sure it has a dipstick but will have to double check tomorrow.
