Default power - manual steering conversion

okay guys, my power steering has been having all kindsa problems and to be honest I've always wanted to buy me a manual rack and pinion set up. I got the cash now and would like to see yalls opinions on what kits are the best. my car is a 65 coupe with power steering but I want to convert to the manual steering set up. what do you guys recommend and why? thanks guys!

They make a power-to-manual steering adapter that just threads onto where the power steering pump was on center link and connects directly to the pitman arm. Think it was about 120 bucks for the name-brand one, some are cheaper.

Dunno about R&P, but thats the easiest way to go^
