Manual steering box/pitman ID and question
« on: June 08, 2008 - 03:17:22 AM »
So I just got my manual steering box with pitman arm, another ebay find. Numbers on the box are 2267162 and S0702R (on the cover). The # on the arm is 1858018 (last digit a 'B' maybe?) followed by a symbol and 2TP. Also "CANADA" appears before the numbers. Pictures below. Pretty sure its just a standard manual box, with hopefully an e-body pitman.  :biggrin:

The next question is this- my car is a factory power steering A/C car. What am I going to have to do pulley-wise to go manual steering with A/C? Did ma Mopar produce this setup at all, or will I have to go all aftermarket, and does such a setup exist?  ??? Thanks!

  You should just have to remove the power steering belt as it should be on its own. If that is not the case then Ma MOPAR did make a non power steering option, you might have to visit a local dismantler for different brackets and pulleys. I have seen this option but cannot picture it at this time. Check out some of the engine bay pictures on this web site.

On my car the power steering belt also powers the water pump/fan. I'd run a single belt for that, but there's no adjustment to tighten the belt in either the crank or water pump pulley. I've been looking at photo's but so far it seems the cars I've seen either manual steering or A/C, but not both. I know you could get power steering without A/C, but I wonder if you could get A/C without power steering...
