Does anyone sell a kit to convert from power to manual steering on a 73 RR? Or am I better off just buying the parts seperately?

Are you sure you want to do that. The 73 will steer very hard with manual and you really don't free up that much horsepower.

Not much to put in a "kit" check out flaming river. All you should need it a manual box and an adapter from it to your auto column(auto column is shorter), and some weight lifting training . It's actually not too bad once you get rolling, but a pita if you try to turn sitting still or going real slow. I went with the fast ratio from flaming river and my box was leaking something fierce and had a majot deadspot in the center, sent it back and they claimed to have fixed something but wouldn't tell me what. Haven't reinstalled it yet but we'll see shortly once the weather warms up. I never heard anything but good things about them prior to my purchase, so decide for yourself In hindsite I probably would have had a factory box rebuilt, may still do that if the box is still messed up.
