Need a non power steer drag link to suit a 1970 Corvette. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please call me on 0419241707 or pm me.

Kon, I believe the draglink should be the same for power or non, just whether it had the valvebody or a balljoint screwed on the end.

I got one last night(Thanks Scott) but there is a difference from what I see. The control valve body screws into the end on a power steer version and on a non power the ball joint is into a hole in the bar itself i think. Ill pull the one i got apart to check and ill confirm. I am putting in a Borgasen steering box and they suggested I get a manual one. Otherwise I would have to buy an adapter if I had a power drag link.

The Pitman arm is the same for Power and Non Power so the drag link must have a ball joint on it , not a hole.
here is an image of an original non power draglink

and here's a power steering kit

common sense tells me the ball joint needs to be in the same position whether power or manual
