I used the Flaming River manual rack kit on my '66 V8 coupe. I hate it. I wish
I had not spent the money on it.
The tilt steering column is cheap, and was a real bear to install. Trying to
get the wiring correct took a while.
The rack and cradle are well made, and very simple to install. I did have to
modify one of the brackets to clear the starter, though.
They advertise "Manual steering that drives like power". BS. I had to buy a
bigger steering wheel because it was a fight to park it. Worse than a truck.
My advice would be to look at the Steeroids power kit. Also, I have heard that
FR now has a power kit. That would be good, except get the column from somebody
else, like Ididit. Or you can use the stock column.

I was looking at all of the mustang mags a few days ago. One of them
had a big article on converting a tough steering manual stang to rack
and pinion. I'm pretty sure it was for a 69 too.
