I'll be running 15's up front with a 225 or 235

ok, see, that is what I was thinking.....it would look clean in there with use an alternator...I would think that the racks that are built to have no power, would be easier to use and have a good road feel. But I do not want to half to wrestle it.

I've heard manual racks aren't that hard to turn when made for manual steering and feel good, but nothing beats power steering in parking lots lol!!

I'm the same way just looking for clan clutter free install

Most of the street rod guys I know have MII fronts wih manual racks. They swear by them. They say the ratio in the rack is different than in a power ack. My friend's dad has a 40 Chevy with a blown 540 and it has a manual rack. It turns with ease at a stand still. So I may go manual with my 40 ford this time around.
