Replace Aftermarket PS Steering with Manual

[Tommy68]

Hi Folks:

I have a power steering aftermarket kit on my 1968 base model standard car. There is no documentation showing that it was ever installed on the car (PS was an option 1968). My question is whether I should pull off the power steering kit and reinstall the original manual steering parts for the car. I plan on showing the car in upcoming judging competitions. Alternatively, I might be able to find and purchase original part to replace the aftermarket ones. I think the only part that is date-coded is the gearbox, but I could be wrong. PS makes the car much easier to drive, but it's not factory correct. Many thanks.

PS - if anyone knows of a reputable shop who repairs manual steering gearboxes, I'd be very appreciative. It's in pretty rough shape.
