Steering Box

Will a steeing box from an 85 GSL-SE PS fit on a 85 GSL? I am trying to place a power steering on my 85 GSL but dont know if the bolt pattern is the same. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Gear box, pump, and shaft. Is there anything I would be missing?

Make sure you get the cooling loop too. There is a line diagram of the complete ps system in the 85 FSM. I swapped the steering column too when I did mine. I have yet to find out for sure if that's needed.

IIRC, not having done this, you don't have to swap the steering column, but getting the steering column out of the box without screwing the box up is difficult.
