The torsion bars that are in the car are for a 1966-72 b-body because the 1965 bars are to long. (41 inches long). I want to change from power to manual steering and don't know for sure what steering shaft to use. The car is stored for the winter and I can't get to it very easily to measure how long the shaft thats in it. I'm thinking I will need a manual shaft from a 66-72. Any body done this? Thanks again for any help. Ray
