For a while i have thought about putting manual steering on my 78 5.0 cobra clone, and the power steerin pump leaked and whined real bad, so i took it off to replace and of course the new pump didnt havethe puuly on it, and as usual it fought me, the lip that you pull it off with folded almost in half with the bearing tool they make, and when i tried to use my normal bearing pullers it just destroyed the pully. And im sick of fooling with it. How hard is it to convert it over to manual steering?

Just a matter of finding a manual rack, removing the pump and lines, and swapping.

I'm strongly considering the same change for my II. I had a manual-steering '74 that actually drove better than my power steering equipped '76.
