Re: power steering to manual

84+ S10 manual steering box. The version with the 4 bolt top cover is a direct replacement. Although some people have used the S10 pitman arm, the third gen pitman arm should be used. It's a slightly different length and will maintain the proper steering geometry.

Manual steering with wide front tires or a small steering wheel will make parking lot driving difficult. There's a lot more turns from stop to stop. Typically manual steering is the option for drag racing but only as a weight reduction.
