She bought the pump, not the box.

Borgeson is also a bolt in if you order from Bergman... i put it on my car just before winter and it is a great setup. didn't have to modify anything

I did it an Ebody, 71 Cuda, with stock ci manifolds 21/2" exhaust and dropped it from the bottom without moving any thing. I did replace it with a Borgeson box.

Borgeson is complex. You might consider the recently marketed Lares 2.5 fast box. I put it in my 63 Fury and like it so far. The return connection, and maybe the input threads are different from stock. Lares Catalog - Lares Corporation

...it might as well look into upgrading. Not for any other reason than I’ve read posts about it and people say it’s good. Can I just buy the Borgeson steering box and the Bergman no-cut coupler and make it work- or is it not that simple, do I have to buy the whole kit. I don’t race or often...

I did reach out Borgeson about the larger pulley. They told me I will be fine as the pump was designed to give the right amount of pressure with the larger pulley.

Yesterday while while I was torquing down my Borgeson Steering box one of the bolts felt funny (like it was trying to give out) and another broke the hardened washer ( further inspection revealed the washer had a crack before I broke it). I was torquing the bolts using the instructions provided...

Filter? for the PS? i didn't even think of that... Hope the cooler helps.. my pump was running 180ish on 65 degree days

Think I would just need hood and black wheels. Originally a 383 4 speed SB. Now has 496 stroker 6 pak. Doing a dana 60 rear, upgrading brakes from drums to power disk and installing a Borgeson ps.

...kit and a set of cop car reaction springs from firm feel. Not very hard to do. It was much better than stock but if originality and cost aren’t an issue, I’d go Borgeson. A lot of the stock 11-1 slop is from too much play between the lock collar and piston head assembly. That can be shimmed out.

I did shim it with a 1/4 washer. It drove fine without the shim. Just did not like the way it looked.

...is right for you. No. If you buy a kit from BAC, the kit includes a new hybrid type coupler that makes the swap a bolt in deal. The Borgeson unit is actually shorter, smaller and lighter than any Mopar power steering unit. The hybrid coupler is longer to allow a stock steering column work...

I emailed Borgeson about it. They told me my old pump was designed with the smaller pulley and their pump is designed with the larger puller. They basically told me the two pumps have different needs.

Borgeson makes a bearing that replaces that

Jan 2023. Hard to know which one makes the sound, though my FF box had no hissing noise.

The Borgeson box likes more pressure than the OE box. In most cases, zero or 1 shim will remain in the relief valve on a Saginaw pump. The feel is built into the box. Unlike the ancient article of MA showing how to make the OE box harder to turn by changing the relief pressure.

so what is the shim for that people mention installing at the PS pump for use with the Borgeson box? Above it says to reduce line pressure, correct? Is this the same kind of washer shim many have done for years with the Saginaw pumps and stock boxes for increased steering feel? With the...

I second that. Best $$ you'll ever spend on your ride. Don't forget to order the complete kit as well.

Knowing what I know now, if Borgeson wasn't available, I'd do a FF Stage 1 or the lowest upgrade from stock from Steer and Gear AND upgrade my steering wheel from the large stock diameter to a 15" or 14" and call it a day.

X2 Installed a Borgeson from Bergman Auto craft (Peter) in my friend’s Charger, it was the best upgrade to his car. I bought one for my Charger, getting ready to install it any day now.
