Did the s-12 ever come with manual steering or does anyone know of a manual steering rack that will fit?

84 they did. You will need everything. The rack, inner and outter tie rods, and the steering column shaft as these are all different from the power set up.

Or you could just un hook the pump, and strong arm it. The cars aren't that heavy, and the steering ratio isn't that bad...

Just what do you think the benefits of a manual rack are? Road feedback is the number one benefit, and you won't get that from an unhooked power rack.

Besides the pump does more than just provide assistance. It also lubricates the rack.

I have driven both, the manual rack is far from heavy and feels fine, the power rack is good to, manual rack might be a bitch with more castor and 8" rims tho.
