1967 289 going to manual steering - 4/30/2008 6:34:18 PM    zeidisho   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/30/2008 Status: offline Hey just wanted to know if anyone here has done this yet. I bought an adapter to convert my power steering to manual. The guy I got it from said just remove the control valve and put on the adapter instead. Now I already removed the pump, belts and hoses. In the process of removing the control valve. Should I remove the power cylinder too? Since I won’t be using steering fluid anymore. Post #: 1

Why on earth do people change to manual? my car is a bitch trying to park without it ... _____________________________ 1964 1/2 289 2bbl (autolite 2100) with holley headers and flowmaster 40s new: Quick Performance Racing 9" rear, Moser axles, 3.5:1 trac loc from FRPP and T5.
