I just started my campaign to revert to manual steering. I'm looking around at the local boneyards for a 79-81 manual rack + it's attached tierods. I'm going to a 83-87 T-bird forward rotation water pump and trying to find a T-bird forward rotation clutchfan. The only thing thats up in the air is the size of belt I will need. I was even thinking of deleting that belt tensioner assembly and bolting the alternator directly to the heads.....That tensioner is HEAVY
