Re: Power steering dipstick
I don’t have a source, just a piece of advice: at least on the early 61-3 cars, there was a different reservoir lid and dipstick for AC vs. non-AC cars (the AC dipstick is longer). That may be true for ‘66 as well, just something to be aware of.

Re: Power steering dipstick
Lee,
That's the first I heard of any differences. I don't have sources either, but I think the engineers ditched that idea after '63. They likely found it was cheaper to just make one design, identical for either HVAC setup.

Re: Power steering dipstick
I don't know, either. I've got a 63 with AC and the dipstick just goes into the reservoir just under the AC unit. Removing that reservoir also entails removing the AC unit, but there are parts available from John brewer, I think. Wayne
Re: Power steering dipstick
The part numbers looked to be the same for the 61-63 whether it was as AC or not.
