Default Manual Steering

OK, because I do some 1/4 mile passes on my 'Vette and because I'm doing a BBC conversion, I'm thinking I'm gonna pass up on trying to make my power steering system work via all new brackets, pulleys, belts, and hoses, etc. So I've decided to look for the pieces to convert my 'Vette over to manual steering. I know this will have a couple of draw-backs but I'm looking at all the benefits and they far out-weigh each other. Please note that I do drive this car on the street also but I have not parked this car downtown in about 6 years.

So where do I go looking for the manual steering draglink (relay rod) and the pitman arm I need. Is there anything else I should be looking for here as well.

As always, thanks so much for the guidence I always need so badly!

Indy

I'm not sure what year you have or where you are located, but my neighbor has a '68 with manual steering and he wants to convert it to power. Could be a swap? PM me if interested.
