thanks.. i have a flaming river rack in my capri.. you're right, NOT CHEAP.. i was lucky and got a 'scratch and dent' deal from my wholesale supplier and it still cost me 2 pretty pennies

as for using different tie rods, i'm sure i can figure something out.. OR do steel hiem ends like i'm using on the S10's stang rack

I have a 87 Bird that is a drag car with skinnies up front, I use the Flamming River manual rack and steering shaft from the 79-93 mustang with 94+ inner and outer tie rods and its works great. Im going to be swicthing to a bump steer kit this year.

I don't get why so many people complaing about manual setups. I drove my car for two years with a busted power steering line before they failed it on saftey. With stock sized front tires I could park one handed. I even drove all the time with a big gulp in the other. My last bird had a busted rack, with no fluid in it when I bought it. It wasn't vad at all, and that one had the higher ratio rack for some reason.

Lets see is anyone willing to trade me for some beta tapes for some 8 track's!!!!!

I would not for one second drive a car with manual steering. Unless it is a 1320 car. Even NASCAR runs power steering. If they didn't they would never be able to run the race. Once again with steam roller tires of today running manual steering would not be my choice!!! But then again i am Nuts!!!

Because they suck Plain and simple. As the matter of fact every car we build includes power steering. Even if the car came without it. But then again i am nuts!!!
