The manual brakes on mine are great. The power steering on all the vintage cars is like steering on a video game consoles. No resistance or road feel. Spin the steering wheel with your pinky finger if you wanted to.
True but the 16:1 ratio is nice, if you are willing to drop the $$$ a rebuilt factory box from Firm Feel makes a HUGE difference. I put a "Stage 2" box in my '70 Duster and the road feel was totally transformed. I've also seen in Mopar Action a few issues back there is now a company which sells kits to adapt the smaller Grand Cherokee steering box into old Mopars. Supposedly they are about the same size as an old manual box so they free up a lot of space, definitely nice for BB/Hemi swaps, headers, etc.
I still have manual brakes on that same car though and I love them. I can't imagine ever needing power assist as I can lock up the wheels pretty easily. Now my '69 Polara that's another story lol...
