Power to manual steering

Alright these are the parts i have, do I need anything else?

I have the manual steering gear box
I have the Pitman arm

I assume the drag link is the same?

Re: Power to manual steering

Are the boxes the same length??? You "may" need to lengthen the steering column shaft......as PS boxes are longer (on some cars anyway)...

Steering rag joints (coupler) are usually different, but may not be on yours! You will need to check and see. Terry

The steering shaft on the manual box is much longer than the power steering one.
