Steering gear box

I recall someone mentioning here that if you have the old  o-rings, just bring them to NAPA & they can match the size.

Subject: IML: Steering gear box

Dear list

Has anyone had experience changing the steering gear box on a 69 Imp?  I took the

car out for a drive yesterday and when I pulled back into the garage it was dripping

steering fluid from the gear box.  Checked the hoses and they are ok.  The guys at

Advance Auto say they can order me a unit but do not show a kit for the o-rings and

gaskets.  The FSM says the seals and gaskets can be replace with the unit still in the

car, this is what I would like to do if I could find the o-rings and seals.  Any ideas would

be appreciated.  Also I just bought a 71 IMP out of an old junk yard out in the woods.

It looks as though someone parked it there  closed the doors and walked a way.

Everything is there and unmolested.  It does have a couple of dents and a little rust and

a lot of dirt but not bad for a car sitting in the woods for 15 or so years.  Don't know what

to do with it yet but at least I saved it from who knows what.

Thanks for listing your a great group.
