Default Rack & Pinion?

It sounds like the C2 rack & pinion conversion works great. But no way am I putting on power steering. Anybody know of a r&p conversion for manual steering?

'66 coupe with no power nuthin', and that's the way I like it!! :yesnod:

I couldn't find a rack & pinion conversion on Speed Direct's web site that didn't require a power steering pump. Did I miss something?

I was thinking about this kit as well but a friend of mine put one one his sons 68 camero and said that the turning radius was reduced and it hang down pretty low. He said they were thinking about taking it back off. I am pretty sure this is a steeroids kit. I would talk to people that have these kits to find out from first hand experiance. I have only heard about kits with power racks. Good luck
