Manual Rack...
Because I'm a lazy *** I didn't feel like doing a search for this topic... 
Anyway, I know at least one or two people on here have had custom racks made for their vehicles... Who did it, and do you have your custom rack build sheet I could steal some dimensions off of? I ran my power rack for awhile with no power to it but recently gave it to Ramrod92 when his went out... I did so because I planned on installing a good Mustang II or Pinto rack in the '90; the problem is I need the measurements off of it. I have a Flaming River custom rack order form in front of me (I know I could fab everything but believe it or not it gets old having to build EVERYTHING) and I need some dimensions...

Jeb,
Contact Bob Nobile at Advanced Automotive Concepts (410-661-7799)
He fab'd my set up and ordered the rack plus the joints on the steering shaft, just tell him I sent you.
Good luck,
Dave

Bruce,
Did you check the toe change thru the whole travel or just set the alignment up with a slightly raised frontend position? When we first tried the Pinto style rack we found a lot of toe change with that width rack, so then a C4 width rack was ordered to correct the toe change.

Jeb,
That's exactly what I'm talking about and why I went to the custom width R&P the same dimensions as the Vette! At the other end when you let off/hit the brakes hard the same thing can happen, better a little extra spent ahead of time to stay safe!
