I've researched a number of times and not had any luck-i had a shop that rebuilds them "convert" mine to manual.

I bought mine through Summit Racing......Flaming River Omni rack.

Just make sure you tell them it sits behind the spindle.....I had to do some fab work to get it in, and lengthened the tierods, but it wasn't that bad.

AAlso, its 4 turns lock to lock, so it feels strange the first few times you take the car out, but you get used to it pretty quick.

I went to a manual rack 2 years ago....is have to do a bunch of digging for the parts number...unless its stamped on it where I can see it from under the car, I'll look tonight when I go out to the garage

Easier to find than I thought.....summit only lists one.

Flaming River FR1507-3-5

But remember, this is NOT A BOLT IN DEAL it took some cutting, fab work, and welding to make it fit...stock is 2 3/4 turn lock to lock, this one is 4 turns lock to so you NEED to remember that when you go for your first test drive lol
