Larry,
Personally, I have no idea. All's I know is that the ATF Fluid comes out of
the ATF bottle and the Power Steering pump fluid comes out of the Power
Steering Pump bottle. They look and feel similar, but I have never really
thought about it.
Can only suspect Ford (or the re-manufacturer ?) put the in-line filter
(fits into a black hose, so you can't inspect it....smart!) into the kit
because they felt they needed it.
Regards,
Allan

Allan, Rich, and others:
I should be the last one to respond to this, haven't had a car
with PS in, hmmmm, 22-1/2 years (you'd think my forearms would be better
developed by now). But, doesn't PS usually take something like ATF? If
so, I'd think drag racers probably use an external filter for their
slushboxes in severe applications; I know I would if I put 500+ HP
through a Powerglide. Just a thought, might be something in the Jeg's
catalog, or Summit's.
Issues: a) reaction of fluid with filter material, wouldn't want
it to dissolve or anything. b) Viscosity of the fluid being filtered vs
the density of the filter. c) would a pressure drop (?) caused by the
filter affect speed of the PS system?
BTW, ignore my message about the Digest, just got it, still
don't know at which end the problem lies.
