I got the order conformation yesterday, and I have a question. Here is the part of the conformation I am not sure about:

STEERING 65-66 V-8 POWER STEER
******* Start of Kit components *******
609 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
65-66 OUTER TIE ROD V8
616 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
65-66 INNER TIE ROD V8
618 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
SLEEVE TIE ROD
619 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
IDLER ARM 64.5-66
608 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
65-66 OUTER TIE ROD V8 PS LH
617 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
65-66 INNER TIE ROD LH PS V8
610 1 1 0.00 WILL SHIP
SLEEVE TIE ROD LH POWER

My question is, I dont have power steering, will this matter?? There was not an option block for manual or power steering, so I didnt even think about it til I got this. Should I contact them and fix it, or are the parts the same for manual and power? Thanks.

Left hand outer and innertie rods are not the same for non-power and P/S cars. Ref NPD http://www.npdlink.com/for conformation.

Edit: I don't know if it will make a difference if P/S tie rods are used on a non-P/S car. The other way is a definate no.

Steven,
Look on the bright side, you are half way to installing power steering.

I guess you are right. I wonder how I am gonna break that one to the Mrs. I will just let her read JMD's "Might as Well" thread, then she will understand

Women like power steering. Now, 'mama' can drive your car. That's a good thing. Keep telling yourself that.

RE: Expensive lunch

She says she loves the car, just tired of the money and time spent on it. I try to get her to drive it whenever possible, but have only succeeded 3 times. Although, once the temp cools off and everything gets updated, it will be hard to keep her out of it.
