Manual steering box with the right pitman arm. Steering box can be from multiple cars including Dusters, Darts, Chargers, Satellites etc etc. You'll either need the adapter (new 117 from ebay), a manual steering column, or lock a grip pliers on your current column and pound it down. Manual...

I actually ran the adaptors on the back of a dart sport for years. Never an issue with them coming lose, and a lot of street miles. Car went into the 12's. I actually liked how they "widened" the rear a little, took away the "backwards" 3-wheeler look, sort of. However, never ran them on...

Nothing to it. Need a manual steering box, and a pitman for your style of car. Usually it's '72 and down, and '73 and up for pitman arms on A bodies. You can buy this adaptor MOPAR Steering Column ADAPTER PS to Manual A-Body Plymouth Dodge Duster Demon GT | eBay Or you can lock a grip...

After years and years in this hobby, I put a +/- 4 degree timing chain on wrong, lining up the "0" on the crank key other than the "0" by the tooth. Car ran idled and ran but wouldn't crawl past a slant six in a 4x4 pickup... LOL. It happens to us all.........

wait'n for J par to join this ...... :popcorn: I agree with JBurch

strut rod bushings cause squeeks

You can usually by a pair of shock mounts for 8 1/4 ... 8 3/4 (same shock plate) for about 50-60 bucks. Maybe the 7 1/4 plates could be drilled to take the wider U-bolts... :poke:

Yep. Ever see a Mopar sagg'n in the front, and the adjuster bolts are cranked up?

Thanks, this is good to know! like a say, I did it once, but wasn't sure. There are hundreds spent every year by Mopar folks buying the "power to manual steering" adapter. I've bought 2 within the last year. Nice to know these aren't needed. MOPAR: Steering Column ADAPTER PS to Manual A-Body...

I did this once. This exact same way. I locked a grip plyers under the hood and pounded it down with a hammer until I reached the manual steering box. The only thing, is, I was always wondering how much splines I was really driving on?????????? Perhaps Whitepunkonnitro could answer this...

If you really want to be safe, and practice putting safety FIRST, quit racing :D :lol: Peddle to the metal = safety second. No matter what you spend. I'm ok with that.....

weld-in frame connectors. If your 80% street and it's a family toy (A+ to that), then skip the cage. Your not going crazy with kids in the car anyways, and kids grow in a hurry. On test and tune nights, sometimes they will look past a low 11 second street car without a cage at certain strips...

naw, just put a flat head screw driver in one of the many slots of the decorative nut you see on the dash and tap the screw driver with the palm of your hand and it should unscrew....

Often times that is the strut rod bushings. Open your hood and look down at the K-frame. the two huge rubber bushings on each side are attached to the strut rod. These are very squeaky when they get dry rotted. soak them with penetrating oil and see if it goes away. Trust me, it will come...

Ummmmm.... if you still have the power steering box, no tires will get ya out of that hard steering, it will be a bear to turn. you have to have the manual steering box installed.

Back on the road??? Same day???? Geeepers Creeepers....... it hasn't been on the road since 1998, C'mon Jeff!!!! lol..... :D

just do your homework so you don't buy bad... size of the ends and comparisons.

You'll get through them..... :) I fix my power steering issues by going to manual on my cars... :D With the right tires on the front, it's amazing how easy the manual steering turns. And the 40 lbs saved. And the room around the exhaust/column. And one less belt. And...... NO LEAKS...

another to compare.....Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly-Pressure Line Assembly GATES 354000

would this be a one piece replacement, or made to work?? Mopar Federal Power Steering Pump High Pressure Hose

Too bad they didn't keep the ignition switch in the dash, like the mid sixties. It was a 10 minute swap... :( I know, that don't do you any good. Just thinking out loud

A little off topic, but I always got my "firmer" feel by going manual. :steering: 40 lbs lighter, eliminates a belt, gobs more room on the drivers side, faster to pull or install the motor, ....... AND.... the firm feel :D

One of my Dusters had a draw tight hitch for on it. Nice Fit!

OP -- Did you try this? takes less than 60 seconds to loosen the driver side motor mount (1 nut), raise the motor a little using a jack on the oil pan favoring the drivers side of the motor (board between the jack and pan).

wow,, Jeff! your giving it the works :)

I always just throw the left over parts away..... :lol:

Thanks mycuda!!! I will check out all options... :) It appears the smooth end gets welded??

got a part number? 30 sounds nice.. :)

Alright, so the coupler doesn't matter. just put the adaptor on the manual box and it will work with the power steering coupler. got it.

and if the manual box has a coupler, and the power steering column has a coupler, which coupler do I use? The power steering coupler your saying?
