Is it possible to modify the manual colum in a reversible way (the shaft) to convert to power? Better to just locate a power column?

How can you tell if one is power or manual?

'70 Super Bee. You have a PM.

I would also like to know if there is a difference aside from the manual shaft being longer.

Lenth of the shaft, power steering will be shorter.

You'll also need to change to a coupler for a PS box.
