Look at the center of the shaft. It it has a hex hole its a large TRW. If its flat its the small TRW(thompson)
The Lukas power steering oil is pretty thick. It does work in some cases for slow leaks.
The OP stated that his sibling had no interest in getting involved in the restoration of the car, so I am under the impression that he has paid for all the work done to the car to date. The shop owner probably wants to steal the car, hoping that he would lose interest in the project if he...
had to custom make one for my 88 D100 with the 383, had to find a line close enough compatible shape to reach/work and screw into the gear box, saved the old fitting from the PS pump side of the old line, cut and re-flare the line and use the old fitting, easy peasy, hardest part was taking the...
No they don't recline, which is why I replaced rather than restored them.
I also don't recline too well at the moment, I cooked my back carrying the old seat and installing the new one yesterday. The real price I pay for this hobby.

Don't use ATF. Use straight Power steering fluid that does not have stop leak.
Your results will be much better,
The factory said to use type A trans fluid which is not available these days.
I’m not sure you can speculate based on that. I’d order the oem spring.no wonder it’s so stiff. At least compared to later 60s car spring anyway. I’d not think that one should be much if any different.
Everyone dreams of doing a high end OEM nut and bolt restoration, and for some that is fine. I have been leaning towards building drivers over trailer queens. I don't have many that are rare enough to warrant a full restoration, and I don't want any car that I can't drive. The stress of keeping...
