Re: Power-to-Manual Steering Conversion--Question!

[Menko Johnson <menkoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hadn't thought about clearance issues--since I have a slant I'm not
tryign to bend that crap too closely past the pump.  And yes, I can
see vacuum issues with a large cam (also something I don't have).  I
was offered a free power steering setup so I was wondering why I
shouldn't do this conversion ;-)  My HP with my slant is going to end
up in the 180-200 range after everything is put on, so with that light
A body I can't imagine the PS pump causing too much of an issue for
me.

Anyone else have some thoughts?

Thanks Gary!
