70 duster p/s to manual steering box

[Tandrayray]

I have 70 duster with power steering, but I also have a manual steering box, I'm planning to remove the 318 and adding a 360 with headers. is it a good idea to swap them? If so will I have to modify anything to install it?

Steering columns are different lengths between power and manual. That will need changed along with the coupler.

Or there are at least a couple of aftermarket suppliers who sell a special adapter which makes up for the shorter shaft, allowing you to install a manual box and keep your power column

I don't know who markets the cheapest one, but like this

Now would be the time to do it since you have nothing in the way. You dont have to swap them out the engine will still fit with the power steering. Although if you do want to swap them out, you will have to either pick up one of those adapters as stated above. I also know Firm Feel and Mancini sells them. Or you can swap the entire column to a manual column. It all depends on what your preference is.
