I recently purchase a flaming river steering shaft for power steering. I am debating switching to manual steering. If i do, would i have to purchase a new steering shaft. If not, what parts do i need to make this work. Trying to keep this simple. thanks.

thanks for the info. I paid $155 for the steering shaft, so i will probably just buy the adapter, tie rod ends, and the manual rack all from flaming river. Does anyone know the part #'s?

You'll regret it i bought my car with a flaming river manual rack. it sucks. Its not as bad going down the round but it still sucks. Im dealing iwth it because its already there but am seriously considering buying a new poer rack, so i can actually enjoy my car. Mine just has the steering shaft adapter that connects to the stock shaft Maybe it would be better with the after market shaft?
