More than likely from a Wasp.

If it's for a wasp, isn't it unique to the Wasp only ? Can it be used for the long wheelbase car ?

I've been told that the two power brake units (Wasp vs. Hornet) have different part numbers. I've checked this and the complete units have different part numbers but many components have the same part number, including the case. This suggests the mounting is the same. The only component I've found that has a different part number for each application is the vacuum tank. Maybe the Wasp tank is smaller? I would imagine the power steeering units are the same in each model but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

The seller owns a 54 Super Wasp which was changed to a FatMan clip.

The 54 or Master Parts books should show application codes to assure what vehicle models will utilize the pieces.

These parts are off of a 54 super wasp.....

Without the pitman arm this unit is junk. Power steering units take a reverse pitman arm. Also the drag link cylinder is shorter on the Wasp models. The chassis is 5 inches shorter and that is from the fire wall forwards. Walt.

On a long wheelbase car the non power steering pitman arm can be used, but it takes some fabrication. New and different steering stops need to be built and installed. Also turning the valve 180 degrees on the cylinder. I know, I had to do it on a 54. It works fine.
