Lee, I was going through my Lucas book (recent acquisition) and noticed that they list a generator for power steering on the 56-57 models.

I have never seen a car (or ute) with power steering. Do you have any info on what they used.

Yes power steering was availabe as it shows in the literature.

I have not seen one either but i understand it was the type where the pump mounted on the back of the generator.

I have a heck of a lot of the old Lucas parts books that I have scanned and can put on CD. OZ and english versions if you have any old Lucas parts you can not identify let me know the numbers. Do you have a source for the Lucas vacuum advances?

Thanks Lee, the Lucas book I picked up (Lucas Equipment Specifications for Australian Vehicles 1950 to 1965 covers most of what I need to know, but if I get into trouble I know where to come for advice.

I have never had to chase down a new vac advance unit, mainly because I have had second hand spares laying around. If you are after a new one I can talk to a couple of people how are into English vehicles, they might have a source for Lucas parts.

Did you have any luck finding the paint colour info?
