use the Omni rack same as KUGEL recommends and so does TCI, you do not need power steering, you know that, why fight whats right. My 35 chevy coupe, roadster both use KUGEL with Omni, both weigh around 2600 pounds, so what tank are you using that needs power
You driving yourself nuts for nothing that's needed. So in the words of somebody " knock yourself out ".
