63 Tie Rod Ends

Post by DarrellW »

My Canadian manufactured Comet convertible has a 170 engine, but has power steering. The tie rods for a 6 cylinder only appear to be for manual steering. I do have a set of these, but they will not work. Anyone run into this situation before? Everything I look at on line leads me to think I need the V8 tie rods. Any help would be appreciated.

So a shop here at home was able to match up my old tie rods with new ones. He and I figure the ones I needed are used with a V8 with power steering. Life is good an I can get the front end work finished!

That is good news. Sorry we did not have the answer, but your post may help someone in the future.
