I've been searching through threads on here for about a half-hour now, and it looks as if the best method to convert a PS box to manual would be via a line connecting the two ports on the box, correct?
I have an '83 2wd with a very sloppy manual steering box and just finished tearing down an '84 2wd parts truck with power steering. Unfortunately I toasted one of the lines to the box pulling the engine from the remains of the parts truck, couldn't see it connected due to the front end hit and tugged a little too hard with the cherrypicker
I'm looking to save two hundred bucks on a new manual steering box right now. I read that the pitman arm and intermediate shafts are different, but I have them, the steering column, and the entire front suspension from the parts truck.
Anybody know how I'd go about filling up the power steering box with fluid before connecting the looped line?
Thanks!
