DIY alert! I took an old dead Phillips screwdriver and cut the tip off of it creating a great tool for driving out both the roll pin and the tiny pins!

If you don't drive out the little pin you'll have a hell of a time getting it apart!

Get the power steering box, and power steering column with coupler from a donor car of the same or close year. With all of the right parts, it's a bolt in swap. The manual column is longer with a different coupler. If you want to work harder, there are ways to cut and modify what you have...

absofrigginlutely! BTW I've seen that k frame advertised on fabo for $75-100. When I have them I get $150-$200 sandblasted and painted. I have repaired them also. I have a welding guy who cuts a piece out of a 6cyl k frame and splices it in.

Yes it can but to do it well you need to remove it. And it's an easy enough part to find that a replacement may be cheaper than shop welding rates (unless you're a DIYer)

Spool mounts came out in 73. 72 K frame will bolt in but you will have to use old style biscuit mounts and the earlier sway bar if you have one. Drag link and tie rods are differerent but yu can use all the stuff from the 74 to the 72. You just can't "mix and match"

I don't know much about aftermarket stuff but there are some easy options as far as stock columns are concerned. You did not say what year your dart is but I'm assuming it's after 70 because that's when the key was installed in the column. You also did not say if you have power or manual...

I need to point out that the OP asked if he had to "change the whole column to convert to PS?" NOW we're talking about using expensive aftermarket steering boxes, cutting the shaft and welding on u joints, modifying the crush sleeve (an inherent safety feature designed to keep the driver from...

I have a 70 dart manual steering column with the coupler. You do need the manual coupler because the geared hole size is different between the manual and the power steering. This was from a column shifted manual steering car, it is a pullout and not cleaned at all. The column shift units are not...

Is your manual box for the 73 and up A body? Otherwise the pitman arm will be different. Yours should have the stud facing down rather than up

Is your car column shift? I might have a column shift manual steering column. Do you have a factory manual box? It's easy to do it with the stock parts if you have them.

I probably have the used steering column coupler depending on whether you have power or manual steering. (the are diferent)I sell them for $25 plus $8 US shipping. You may still need the kit with the new gasket and cover shown above. Good Luck!

To change to manual steering you will need the manual box and a manual steering column (it is longer than the power) and a different coupler (different size geared hole). There is also a steering column adapter but it is pricey, so it's probably easier to find a manual steering column.

The 73 Challenger disc brake SPINDLE is the same as the 73-76 A body disc brake setup. The upper control arm is different. The spindles & calipers are very desirable in a body brake conversions although you would have to use the 73-76 A body upper control arms. 73-74 E body spindles are also a...

One other important note: These are different on manual steering and power steering units. One has a larger geared hole (clocking) and they are not interchangeable. Also the power steering has a shorter steering shaft if you are converting over.

I think Dr Diff is starting to stock shock/spring plates

I remember my first power to manual conversion! 18 years old working on the car on a day I had to drive it to work! Got it swapped with time to spare until I went to replace the steering column! This lesson I learned well that day: MANUAL STEERING USES A LONGER COLUMN AND A DIFFERENT SIZE...

I remove a LOT of those, so I've seen it all. There are a lot of good suggestions above. PB Blaster is a MUST. I made my own tool by cutting off the head of a large Phillips screwdriver. It gives you a flat drive surface rather than a pointed punch which can spread the hollow roll pin as you hit...

A few years ago I lost a bet arguing this point, so I have some experience in what I'm about to say: The difference in the ucas is that the 73 and later setup used a large ball joint, whereas the 72 and down A body uses a small upper ball joint. It has always been assumed that drum brake...

I sell them when I have them. I sold two sets this past month (I think they are 25 now). I'm going to Carlisle tomorrowand may be getting a parts car. If so, I will have another set.

The splines on the factory coupler are the same on power and manual boxes. THIS IS NOT CORRECT!!! Manual steering couplers are a larger diameter gear pattern than power steering couplers! You have to have the correct coupler for the box you are installing. Also the column is longer on a manual...

What is the year/model of the car it's going into? Using a Saginaw pump with the correct brackets for the aluminum water pump may be a good option.

There are two "older" power steering pumps, the Federal and the TRW. Upon initial inspection they appear very similiar, but they use totally different brackets. If you try to mount a TRW pump with federal brackets or vice versa, life will not be good! Here's the pump differences: ALSO many of...

If you already have the other car and K frame it will be cheaper to do the K frame swap although Schumacher conversion mounts (http://engine-swaps.com) are easier. On the 73 and up spool mount K frames some minor mods are required for the conversion mounts. Basically you "deepen" the groove. The...

The steering column is shorter on the power steering. Also the coupler has a different diameter hole (smaller on the power) so you will need the column and coupler.

I just sold 5 sets this week. I'm pretty much out until I get another parts car :) Thanks guys!

I sell used cleaned and painted ones for $14.99 plus shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231402876262?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
