Thinking about manual steering

[richardv6]

Ok I am thinking about putting a manual gear box on but not sure how we'll it works and what parts I will need..any one on here had experience with this ? I hear s10 box but not sure what year also if pitman arm has to be changed as we'll.don't want something that's pain to steer other wise I would keep ps.so if some one could give feedback that would be great.thanks

It's insane!

S-10 box with arm. Get a Jeep shaft, no rag joint. Skinnies up front help too. I wouldn't do it on a street car, no benefit. Phil.

gotcha, is steering ratio way different than the factory setup?

 

[pdzz]

Yes, the ratio is different.

I may be interested in the box if the OP doesn't want it!

Sounds like he is out. Has a pitman arm on it.

Smart decision!

When you consider what a PIA it is to eliminate the PS pump from your pulley configuration, and try to make something modified to work with the serpentine belt, it is always troublesome.

its not hard to do at all champion sells a powersteering delete bracket all you have to figure out is the length of the belt

 

[Nick Micale]

I am well aware of the Champion PS delete bracket having used a couple of them, but I "assumed" the owner wanted to keep his AC since it is mainly a street GN!

The Champion unit has no provision for an AC compressor.

It doesn't matter how difficult or easy it is to change,you'll have a car without power steering and you'll hate it.
