My 47 ford coupe has a mustang II IFS that came with the car when I purchased it. It is a stock OEM ford unit, that seems to be installed well. It has a power steering rack. The steering doesnt feel as firm as I would like. My 55 Buick special is bone stock, with manual steering, and I dont mind it. Its a much heavier/bigger car, with less horsepower (the buick has the stock 264 nailhead, the ford has a 302/c4), so I think that putting a mnaual steering rack on the 47 ford's Mustang II front end would be somwhere between the power steering that it has now, and the workout it takes to drive the buick. I would like to feel the road a bit better with the car, as this power steering feels like im "driving on ice", would manual steering help? What are you guys running on your cars?
