RRS do a kit not a cheap exercise.. or could get a second hand unit from a fairmont of the same era its not power steering tho its power asisted steering lol scary stuff at high speed...
http://www.RRS-online.com i took by power assisted steering off coz it makes it handle like a boat at high speed, sorry but i just sold it 6 weeks ago i also think that they have a specific gear ratio in the steering box when they are used....

find a power steering setup from xw-xc v8, change your steering column to xw onwards and fit the lot. easy enough.

i have a reco xb box in mine (not power st) with the power steer gearing which makes it a 16-1 ratio, got it from the local gt shop $135 probably a bit dearer now.
