I have that rack on my 67 coupe. Has a 5.0 also. I like it going down the road, only troubles are in parking lots going slow. I had a 13-1/2 steering wheel on it, had to go to a 15" wheel. Just too hard to turn with the smaller wheel.
 

 
This was one of my concernes.

These were this words:
"Since it's a manual rack I had no issues turning 275 wide tires while stopped.  They are different gears in it to assist"

Seems far fetched to me, that's a wide tire.....now I recently bought that flat Shelby style wheel, can't rmbr if it's 14 or 15", what's stock 67 gt diameter? I know I went smaller than stick so it would be easier to get in and out of.

So Alan, Since you went 15", how is it, still unpleasant or not bad?

Hey Jeff,
If you decide to not get the rack, will you please get in touch with me as I'm interested.

it is not too hard to handle with the 15" I have. Got 235/45/17" tires on the car. They are a full 9" wide, so there is plenty to turn. Backing out of a parking spot is about the hardest thing. i have had the rack on the car for 11-12 years and no problems. There is no slop going down the road. I would ask why it was taken off. 

Eventually i would like to add EPAS to what I have.
 

I have a powered unisteer rack since 2012.  The turning radius isn't great.  It makes some noise when its warmed up and slow turning.  If I was going to do it again I would of went a different route.

    Do you have any issues when its warm slow turning making some noise?  It seems more like a vibration from the wheel turning when moving slow or turning the wheel while the car is stopped.   I dont think its the pump.   I have a serpentine belt so its tight.  Im thinking its the rack.  Its seem louder in the car than outside.  When I had my son turn the wheel while I was outside it wasn't that loud like in the car.   Thanks Steve69
 

 
Steve we're talking about non-power unisteer system.

I just don't want to go from a soft sloppy factory ford system that leaks a touch

Don't know if you're interested but there's a well-known fellow (Dan at Chockostang) who rebuilds the factory boxes.  He has an A+++ reputation for quality and customer service.  It might be easier in the long run to get in touch with him and have your box, etc. rebuilt.  His phone number and email are on his website (linked above).

He's also very good with power steering stuff and can undoubtedly help you with your touchy leaks.

 
Ya butt... don't you dare mention rear disc brakes to him or the brake Nazis will show up.

I have the POWER Unisteer R&P in my '67 Coupe. I had a lot of initial issues with it - went through 2 or 3 pumps before it got sorted out. They gave me quite a runaround for a month or two at the time. It has been 6 or 7 years now and it has been fine since the initial problems.
