    Well pscv is shot. I have been looking at these manual steering conversion kits. Has any had any luck with these? What all will I have to do for this to work. It says will not work if the ps pump drives the water pump. I have a 75 351w Does this mean my water punp is driven by the ps pump. Thanks...

    Do you have a picture of your belt setup? IF your ps pump does drive your water pump, all you would have to do is change to a non PS belt setup.

    I think I might just replace the control valve. I just put a new steering box in and everything was real tight and still is its just the leaking that kills me. So im hoping that my new control valve wont leak.

    The control valve can be rebuilt. You can have it done or do it yourself.

    If you are intent on reverting to non-power steering, there are a couple choices. The previous post shows a link to one type manual steering adapter. Not all fords have a removalble end like that. An alternative is to to remove the control valve only and keep the center link and make it a solid function.

    It even retains the grease fitting on the bottom side.
