G body manual steering box

Where is it leaking from and have you done to fix it?

I've replaced everything at one point or another.

Good point. Just don't understand why you would want manual steering

I've driven the parts car around a little bit. It's not as hateful as you would think. It actually steers easy. Just when you are stopped you have to put a little *ss into it.

From what i read
"Steering won't be a problem while moving. It will be a little stiff when sitting still but will be fine as soon as you start rolling".

I knew an old guy with a '69 Catalina, 400 motor, manual steering. I thought that made no sense until I drove it- was I surprised. As stated, as long as the wheels are rolling you can't tell the difference. Since then I put a manual boxes in my '68 Firebird and my '81 Malibu wagon. The ONLY reason I have power in my current Bonnewagon is because manual totally sucks at the boat ramp.

that is incorrect, no circle track car uses manual steering. It's a drain on the driver and if you get into trouble you have a b!tch of time getting it straightened out cause it's too easy to over correct when you are fighting the wheel. Dirt track cars even use a doubler in the steering shaft to get the wheels to turn quicker.
