[Shotimes] Power steering question Gen I or III

[Paul Nimz]

The GEN 3 Duratecs have the same SARC module as the SHO to control the VAPS.
The VAPS is smoothly stepped, not an arbitrary 4 step position system and is
closely tied into the PCM programming.  But the SHO has the ZF rack and a
different pump.  I believe when installed on a GEN 2 the ZF rack uses the GEN
2 pump.  A special hose is needed.  Ask Kirk.

I do know that there are some GEN 1 SHOs with the GEN 3 rack out there.
