Okay I looked at a 90' Turbo today and I'm 98% set on purchasing it Friday morning.
The issue is sometimes it has power steering and sometimes it does not. Owner says it has been this way since the engine was pulled for a rebuild and re-installed.
The owner also claims the power steering pump has been replaced with a new unit.
I don't know much about this part of the SM other than the hardline running underside of the block gets in the way on my 87 when I'm removing the oil filter.
I tried searching but all I could find is a lot of threads about the PS vacuum line which is under the turbo inlet. Which I don't think helps me as I know what this does.
What do you guys think the issue is? I'm afraid it's going to be an issue with the steering rack and I really hope not.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
