so im dead set on going to manual steering. this power steering is great if you just cruise but id like to feel the road.
anyway i got a box from a friend thats allitle crunchy feeling and leaks. im going to take it all apart before i order anything but id like to know of some good places to order stuff so i dont get ripped off.
also i was reading another post about how the 24:1 stock ratio is a bit slow and heard the 20:1 or something like that was better. can i make mine into a different ratio? whats a good ratio? this car is going to end up being a 4 speed car and id like to enjoy driving it.
also is there any power to manual steering column adapters that arent a rippoff?it would be easier to just have an adapter since ive allready got a floor shift column.
any tips or tricks for rebuilding? i cant imagine it being too hard. i think the one guy said to put a grease fitting on top in one thread i had read. also what should this thing be filled with? grease?
also what pitman arm should i get? were there different manual boxes for A bodies?
thanks in advance FABO.
