screw power steering

ok well i wanna get rid of my power steering. how do i find a manual steering gearbox that will fit? i cant find any for a camaro or firebird. so i was wondering if anyone knows if they all fit or if one from a s10 will fit or what? anyone know. because my buddy with a s10 just put a manual box in and its just as smooth and i want to shoot my power steering in the face. :banghead:

also will one from a first gen fit?? or how about one from a chevy vega, el camino, truck, or spectrum fit? or a 68 chevelle?

Im pretty sure that they are the same and should bolt into your car. Just look at his and then look at yours. How wide are his front wheels? If you get wide front tires it will get harder to turn.

hes got the same width tires. ill ask him if he has his old ps pump to look at similarities

the s-10 one will work because that's what they hafta use when they drop big block's in fbody's.

alright cool. what about any other ones?

i remember my dad had a 78 camaro draged out and he just left in the power steering gearbox in the car he just pluged the hydralic ports

You can loop the hoses to get rid of the power steering, but power steering racks are made with a higher ratio than manual steering racks. So a power steering rack minus the PS pump would be MUCH harder to turn at low speeds than a manual rack.

Look around, I know there are MS racks made for the 4th gen V6's (maybe all 4th gens and theyre interchangeable V6 to V8) so there must be some for 3rd gens too

You would have to convert the thirdgen to accept power racks though. You could dump 1000 dollars in a tubular kmember and a arms and have it setup up for a ps rack.

Ummm isn't he talkign abotu ditching the p/s and replacing it with manual??

thirdgens have gearboxes not powersteering racks like fourthgens

ohhhh my bad

i dont want power steering at all, it drags on my motor and it makes it shut off every once and a while and clutters up the engine bay more. just want to get rid of it, one less thing to break.

if the power steering is causing your engine to stall out there is something wrong if ti were the pump binding you mite get squeel from the belt,if not the pump you mite find that you have a problem with your engine
