If yours is power you will have 2 belts on the front of your engine and a power steering pump on the drivers side. If theres no pump, then no power steering. Changing to power steering is possible, but will not be cheap if you pay a mechanic to do it. If you do have it converted remember to have them change the ball joints too, the ball joints for power steering are different. -- Lee 75 244 (80k original miles) 79 242 65 220 project Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
