Hello. I have a 1936 Ford pickup with the usual 350 chev, TH400 trans. I need to replace my 1974 to 1978 Mustang II power steering rack and pinion. I bought it (rebuilt) from auto parts store. It sat around for a few years before installing. After install and a little use it now leaking from boots and right and left turn tubing fittings. I have read that on pre-war cars it is advised that you use manual rack and pinion vs power. The reason being that the pre-war cars are lighter in the front end and do not have the weight that the power system was designed for which results in over-steer. I would like a little more road feel and it may have a little over steer but it is not bad. I would not mind getting rid of the power steering pump and associated hoses just to simplfy things and gain some extra room but at the same time I don't want to end up with a pickup that steers like an old Peterbuilt. I guess my question is, have any of you converted from power to manual rack and pinion on a pre-war rod and how did it work out for you? Thanks and sorry for being so long winded here.
