power steering

i know i dont have a power steering pump, but how do i tell if i have a power steering rack? did 85 come with power steering as standard or a option? if i have a manual rack how hard would it be to change it to a power steering rack and get a pump?

It was an option, you need the entire rack, steering box, mounting bracket, lines, cooling loop and steering column.

Look at the steering sector, does it have hydraulic lines? Manual ones don't.
