hey , i need the power steering's power cylinder, control valve and all the hoses and stuff for my 69 torino coupe 2dr, i am also looking for 3.9 or 3.5 ring pinion ( rear end), must be working. thanks.

I don't think there are many good used ones around. It wasn't one of Ford's "better ideas" If you ignore it they can fall apart and you'll lose the steering. A lot of good cars were junked because of this crappy setup.
The 69 Torino shares a lot of mechanical parts with the Mustang.You can get all the parts to rebuild the slave cylinder from most Mustang parts dealers.But they are wicked expensive.
I know a guy who tossed the cylinder and replaced it with the non- power steering tie rod. Then he put in a power steering box from an Isuzu Trooper and hooked the pump to it. He said it was almost a bolt on. one bolt hole lined up with the frame and he redrilled two bolt holes. I drove the car when I painted it and the power steering worked great.

you might wanna try finding a 69-75 galaxie or LTD to take the steering setup, its nearly bullet proof, mine has never had leaks and i've abused it to the max. just remember that it takes a lot more room up under the hood, so if you have some big headers, they probably wont fit with a small block, the big blocks had an exhaust manifold that dumped in the middle on the drivers side due to this setup.
