66 barracuda steeringshaft question

[roaddevil]

Does anybody know how much longer a manual column has to be compared to a powersteering unit? I have to lenghten my steerinshaft because i swaped to manual steering but dont know how much ?

See if someone will swap columns with you. I plan to go to power steering on my Valiant after the new year.

I didn't know where you was located

 

[roaddevil]

no problem

Without taking the columns apart and getting an exact measurement, it's looks to be 3 1/4".

Just an FYI, the couplers are different between manual and power steering too.

3.25 seems also to be okay for me. I mean who care if the steering wheel is 3-5 millimeters back or forward

You might want to convert 3 1/4 inches over to millimeters
