RE: Converting manual to power steering...what's involved

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Butch,
I'm not sure that I would change.  I had a 63 Belvedere with manual 
steering and it was esy to drive in town.  The steering wheels are the 
same size and plenty big for manual steering.

I had a 63 Fury with power steering and my 64 Ddodge 440 has power 
steering and although easier, I doubt I would bother switching either 
way.

If you switch you may also need a pitman arm for the power steering box 
because I doubt it is the same as the manual box.  Otherwise, pump, 
bracket, box, shorter column and hoses are all you need.

Call me sometime if you want to chat about this and you can tell me 
about your "new "car.
