Hey all,

Been trying to research about the compatibility issue with the zbar linkage and the Borgeson power steering conversion. Everything I read talks about solutions related to a T5 swap - my 68 has the original 289 3spd, and I don't plan on swapping that out anytime soon.

Has anyone successfully installed this kit with a 3spd? how did you modify the zbar, or what conversion kit did you use to move to a cable solution? Due to cost, I won't be doing a hydraulic conversion.

Thanks in advance.

3 speed or 4 speed will be the same bar .I haven't quite made it to that point yet ,but it seems like i read somewhere you need the Hi Po Z bar or the Boss 302 Z bar .The HiPo and Boss 302 bar is shaped different

Borgeson sells a Z bar for use with their steering boxes.

Interesting... It does say that Borgeson z bar is for 65-66, so I doubt it'd work on a 68. Will look at the HiPo & Boss Z-bar next.
