Default Question about steering system differences

Specifically, the non-power assisted steering. What kind of link is there from the steering box to the wheels? Is it similar to the old F-body style with pitman arm connecting to a center-link and the centerlink is connected to the tie-rods and balanced with an idler arm?

Are there part numbers available for these parts (different from the power system), specifically Moog parts.

Thanks!

Hi

Yes, that's it.
I think the manual relay rod ( center link ) is not available , also not aftermarket.
You must find a used one.
But may be somebody knows more .

ZIP, Paragon or VB&P should be able to help you out w/ reconditioned center link and pitman arm for manual steering.
