I believe the OEM tie rods just screw onto the threaded ends of the rack, but I do not see any threads on the Unisteer.
How do the inner tie rods attach to the Unisteer rack?
Is the inside of the rack threaded?

I'm pretty sure OEM rods will work, but I can't guarantee that 100%.

If anyone wants to try this rack out, you can just pay shipping, then decide if you want it. If you decide to keep it, you pay for the rack, if not you ship it back to me.

I too have a 9" solid axle in my 1992 street car.
How do you think this rack would work with 215's on a 7 inch rim-As I just purchased these sizes.
How are you running your belt without the PS Pump? I will be installing a Pro Charger and using this rack may simplify the install (also removed the a/c).

This is a good deal. It cost me around $175 to get a rack converted to manual. Unisteer wanted more than $500 when I was looking and you had to send in all kinds of measurements.
I have had my conversion on for a few years and really, it's not bad once you get used to it. I'm not a big guy. It's not easy to turn at low speeds, but I am used to it. I normally have fat 17's front and 18's rear, my car sits on the ground like DVNCI's. It removes alot of clutter in your engine compartment. You'll be thankful when your MSD opti keeps failing.
The upside is that nobody wants to drive your car because it's too hard to turn. Ha Ha.
Regarding the belt, you just get a shorter one. I removed my idler pulley as well. You could keep it, though.
