I was wanting some feed back about some manual steering racks for the foxbodys. I may need a new rack and was considering one. But they are expensive, and manual. Are they difficult to steer with? Can anyone tell me how it differs (handling) from a hydrolic rack? My car is not a drag car, it is a street/road race car. So I was wondering how they perform.

Well, I know some quick ratio racks are used in road racing.

Since my motor is a 68; it does have a p/s pump so i am running a p/s rack without the power lol.

heheh'... I have never driven a car that had a manual rack. I was hoping someone could tell me how stiff they were. Surely they arent that stiff. Like power steering with no power stiff.

at a stand still it is.
but when u get rolling there is no problems. unless your just weak. lol

Ok I'm unable to directly answer your question, but: My first car was a 1986 BMW 325E with no power steering and suspensioncomponents and anengwith 240,000 mi upon receiving.The car drove effortlessly and handledpretty well too.

Dont they all used manual steering in road racing cars? You have 10x's more control over your car. I think the kit from Flaming River is like $400 bucks.

if its a road race car, get the flaming river quick ratio. at a stand still or under 5mph steering is a little tough but if your moving, steering is just as easy with power steering
