    Importance, water vs. oil.

    Starter Solenoid?

    That is a Ford starter relay, and by the way it seems to be wired, it is not for you're starter circuit.

    Steering column gauges

    I had this setup for the last five years using autometer gauge cups. This gauge arrangement is old school. A very nice way to do it so you can actually see the gauges at a glance.

    Power steering rack boots

    You're right, kinda. My way is the anal way. This is why I said that. Just suppose, what if, the rack seal has slowly started to leak on the good boot side? If it was, all this work and money shot to hell. At the very least, peel the large end of the boot back and see if there is any leakage...
