On a 400/450 you can mount an old all steel ford power steering pump up from the late sixties and seventies on the left side and use one belt to drive it and the alternator by running it in a triangle configuration. I have yet to try this with an M-MTA but it appears that the eaton pump that ford used in the 50s for power steering on their cars is the same or similar to the eaton pump that char lynn used. I write all that to say that if I was looking to put power steering on an M-MTA I would use a ford power steering pump from the fifties and I Would convert the small fuel tank from a duel fuel setup as a reservoir. This of course requires a bunch of fabricating and fitting but the result would invisible to the casual observer. The fifties pump often used a remote resvoir and this reservoir could possibly be used as well. I would do this in conjunction with the eaton/char-lynn torque booster. I am certain some day I will do this I just have not had the need or the time. We probably will do it on my Dad's sometime soon. He keeps talking about putting power steering on it. Back to your original question. It has been our exerpience that a 400/450 hydraulic system works better without the priority valve.
