I am planning on doing it too one day.

 

Here is what you need:

I ran one on my car for about 3 years. It is very easy to install, and it worked just fine. I just sold mine on eBay about 2-3 weeks ago for $19.99, because I put the P/S back on after fixing the leak issues.

Hope this helps.

 

on my 66 which is the same setup I think... all i needed was a PS to MS conversion kit for the drag link. The drag link has the valve body on the end of it. Just remove that valve body and stick the kit in its place.

Really easy job except for getting the pitman arm to let go of the ball stud (took alot of cussing and hitting stuff with a big hammer)

*edit* The post directly above mine shows the kit you need

 

you need the manual drag link along with the manula specific piecs for the tie rods

 

awesome you guys are the best!

 

Don't beat your tie rods or pitman arm with a Hammer. Go to Harbor Freight and buy the $6 tool that works for these (think they call it a pitman arm tool). Yep it is cheap but for the job it will last forever, and makes the job easy. Or you can just do the loan a tool at your local auto part store. You can change to a manual linkage, but that will cost more and isn't necessary.
