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.

 

ok so how do i tell if the previous owner just removed the pump. or if it was never installed.

 

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

 

i couldnt find any where that would look like hydraulic lines would hook up. the rack also looks so tiny.
