All,
I drove my 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II to Ocean City, MD for the annual Cruisin' Ocean City event. It was a 165 mile trip, and the old girl performed flawlessly. However, I went to drive it this afternoon, and the steering column is binding badly. It's a column shift automatic, and turning the steering wheel will now move the shift lever. I can't drive it without keeping my hand on the lever for turns.
The car has a Borgeson power steering box from Bergman Autocraft, with the accompanying coupler and power steering pump. Is it likely that the power steering box is causing the binding? Can it be easily adjusted?
Thanks for any advice you can give. My wife is joining me tomorrow, so I won't be stranded. But I don't relish the idea of having it towed back home.
