Manual swap

‘72 Demon said

Ok thanks for the answers. It’s been nearly 40 years since I drove my Demon as I just recently bought it back and it has manual steering and drum brakes. I’m in the process of getting it back on the road and was thinking about doing a power steering/disc brake swap but I may be rethinking that now.

The disk brake swap you should do, you just don’t need a power booster. Manual disks work great.

As for the power steering, that’s a personal preference. But if I wanted to go from manual to power I would use a Borgeson power steering set up, not a stock Mopar power steering set up. If you have to buy all the stock power steering components new, or have them rebuilt, the borgeson set up won’t be that much more. And it will have a much better feel, as well as being smaller and lighter.
