anyone have a PS rack, hoses and mounting bracket that they could sell me?

I got a P/S pump from the 84 corolla SR5 this engine came from, so i won't need a pump.

I have all that, a couple of times (2 parts cars). PM and we can make a deal.

Mac - its a personal taste thing, I guess, but I have never liked the lack of 'road feel' when driving a vehicle with power steering vs 'manual' steering. I'll take manual steering any day. Just my 2c

once you take your manual rack off, would you be willing to sell it? I would give you my PS rack if you want it, but you would have to wait untill I put the manual rack in, as its my daily driver, also my hoses are in pretty bad shape.

The best thing about the power steering on the Terc is that it's speed sensitive. i.e. the amount of assistance lowers as you speed up so at slow speed the steering is really light but when cornering at speed it feels pretty well the same as the non assisted with plenty of feedback. I really liked the power steering for city driving.
