The '80 and '81 4k was available with a manual rack as well as various early
Dasher and Quantum models and the early VW Fox ... any of them should bolt
right up.

IMO, the manual rack setup sucks ... 5 turns from lock-to-lock (which is
waayyyy too slow) and the steering feel isn't much different.  The on-center
numbness appears to be a result of the suspension geometry rather than the
power rack setup and it remains even with the manual rack...
