How many of you out there running manual steering?

‘66 Valiant 273.
It has a much better road feel.
When not moving it is heavy but this can be avoided most of the time. For example when backing out of the driveway just straighten out the steering wheel while still moving backwards.
Also proper driving technique helps - hands at 4 & 8, to turn always pull down with one hand and keep the other in the proper position.
thats all good but what when your turning a corner and hafta down shift same time?? thats when i wish i had p/s or 3 hands!
