I have a 80/242 GT here at the house that my son gave me.The power steering rack is one big drip.I know where a manuel steering unit is at the junk yard that I can get for less than $50.00,do I want to put this on the car are do I want to get another power rack for the little GT,is there that much to doing the swap and am I going to enjoy the manuel set up,I've never drove one before.If I get the manuel setup do I need the steering shaft also.What is the difference in the ball joint set up from the power steering ball joints.The front in is totally shot and I have all new bushings, tie rods,sturts,bearing plates,will I need a spacer for the sturts.The car has good brakes on it but the brake lines on the front will need to be replaced.I can get stainless steel brake hoses made up at the speed shop for about half for what they cost in the catalogs,the rotors are in great shape.I hope one of you have driven the manuel steering before and can tell me if it is worth it.Thanks for a reply.

Thanks
Rodney
