    Hey guys, is it better to upgrade the power steering with a conversion kit, or leave the stock power steering box on my 1974 Grabber 302?

    What conversion kit do you have in mind? Why are you wanting to change? I have a conversion on my car, which was/is OE pwr before I changed.

    All depends on your definition of "better".

    I have had no issues with factory power steering set-ups.

    If you drop that boat anchor (large front bumper) and convert to the smaller bumper, you can go manual to lose some weight and gain a few horses.
