something like that yes, but when you turned full lock it would kick up the idle to prohibit stalling i guess. it took some time to get used to parking with that setup. all stock from what i can tell? my car did not have a/c and this was a pressure line from the pump to a solenoid on the throttle linkage at the firewall. i hadn't ever seen something like this before either?

you can see the pressure line going back to the solenoid in this pic. the line comes out of the PS pump and runs along the top of the valve cover, it's oversprayed white (by the previous owner).
