Any way to "de-power" a power steering box?

dvav,
I would do it before installing, or it would never get done. If retired, you might have time for a with & without comparison. I liked the low-effort steering in my 1969 Dart, being able to turn the steering wheel with 1 finger. That was the marketing angle when power steering came out in the 1950's. Steer w/ the left arm and snuggle the babe in the right. I might still be single if not for easy power steering. The article can be found on-line, Mopar Action by Rick Ehrenberg. It applies to the Saginaw pump, but the concept might work w/ a Federal or TRW pump.
