    I haven’t done it…had considered it in past.

    The driver side inner/outer/sleeve and center link and possibly the idler arm.  I’ve been told that I have manual idler arm on my factory power steering.

    The power steering is 3/4” on driver side.
    Manual has 11/16” both sides.

    Not sure this is a help but I had switched the PS on my 65 to manual steering before I switched to the MII front end.  I had removed the manual steering from a 66 donor car, and replaced everything except the steering box.  The PS steering had a quicker ratio (16:1 vs. 19:1, as I remember) and that, coupled with 225/60 tires, only made parallel parking a chore. 

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.
