Default Power Steering Stuff

I have the original power steering pump and power assist ram off my car and available for purchase if anyone wants to buy them. Make a reasonable offer, would be shipping from Phoenix, Az. If you have a manual steering centerlink I'd happily trade you for the power one.

Trying to raise funds for some 72cc or smaller heads. I have shaved 97cc 6X-8s now, but thats 7.5:1 compression on my 350. Those are for sale or trade as well if anyone is interested. Magnafluxed shaved painted fresh valve job .650" springs 7/16 arp studs. Just wanted you guys to have the first crack at the power steering stuff. It's such a pain to look through the 61-77 board to find stuff for our cars

I seem to remember the center links are the same but pitman arms are different.

I've been told they are very similar. It would make a good complete setup if anyone wanted a full factory power assist assembly with the correct center link.

Center links and pitman arms are different.

Casey - I may be interested, I will look and see what I have, I may have an extra centerlink.

Can you post a pic of the PS center link? Am interested in seeing how it differs from the manual steering one.

Car is being stored at Steve Barcak's yard, which is 50 miles away. I'd drive out there to get parts but it's too far for me to take pictures

You might want to reconsider going away from power steering. I'm going to change my manual steering to power steering the 1st chance I get. Manual steering is just a real ball buster!

Well I like manual steering manual brake stick shift cars. Makes me feel more masculine I guess? Haha. Ilearned to drive in my dad's 72 z28 like that. I actually prefer it. But is there really a difference in these cars? I never noticed it when I was pushing the car around the junkyard. Its like 5 turns to either side to lock it when I was daily driving!
