Do you recommend power steering?
Hi, I have a full fendered '34 Roadster with a SBC. The front is M=II and no power steering, the steering wheel is a LeCarra Banjo,I think it is about 15 in. My car steers well with a little extra effort when standing still. I don't think I would go to power steering on this car. The manual rack seems to work fine. My car is glass but don't think there is that much difference in the weight of a steel car. Good Luck!
Thank you for the answer.
And I must say the cockpit on your car sure looks wonderful!
My steel 31 coupe with smallblock has no power steering and it just doesn't need it, Might be a nice option, but I almost think it would make it steer too easy..
I had a steel '33 Coupe, dropped super bell axle using a vega box and it steered fine except when parking. My wife wouldn't drive it for that reason (but I'm not to sure that was a bad thing!)
My steel '30 A-bone sedan with BB Chevy had a Mustang II manual rack, and it steered just fine. No problem parking either.
