Ok I'm about to order parts to convert my 68 to manual steering. So I need a manual center link, manual idler arm, manual pitman arm, and manual inner tie rods. correct?

I don't want one of those adapters. I know the PS box has a different ratio and it would be better if I got a manual box, but that will be later.

thanks
Austin

I bought the quick ratio box and wished now that I had got the standard ratio instead. It's a killer trying turn the wheel at low speeds. Mine was already a manual steering car.

A roller idler arm will greatly reduce the steering effort, especially on a manual steering car like mine.
I use one with the power steering gear box and have been very happy with it.
