Swapping steering racks?
I wanna swap out a factory manual rack to a power steering rack. Im assuming is pretty straight forward, but Id like to know if someone already attempted and came across a few issues, or if its a stupid easy swap and I just made a fool of myself by posting this.
Thanks.
Thanks.

No pics but IIRC it's on the left side of the steering column. I think it might be slightly higher than the column as well. It's a good sized box. One thing i noticed on my '86, Mazda was really good about including all the wiring for various options. The harness' for my unused options were retained with dark blue tape, your connector might be taped up somewhere. Get the computer, it will be easy to locate the harness/connector (provided you have it) once you know what the connector looks like. Also, you should look into if the wiring/computer is different for 2-port vs 3-port racks. DL a copy of the FSM if you don't have one, it will help with the electrical side of this swap.
