Average cost to add power steering

[69Ponti]

I have a 69 firebird with a manual box and was wondering what the cost to add PS system to the car. Thanks.

300-400 to 3000-4000. Need more information than you gave. Do you want just driver parts? factory motor and pulleys? what upgraded steering box? want aftermarket accessory drive?

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for an inexpensive setup to add power steering to the car. The car has no AC and I'm not planning to add that in the future. I'm assuming stock is probably the way to go cost-wise?

you can buy the box and pump less pulley at your local store. EXCEPT on early Pontiac brackets you have to use the pump with the early oval fill neck or it will not clear the bracket, and finding the correct early bracket can be fun since not all of them are reproduced and all pontiac brackets fit all pontiac motors, but only certain brackets will work together.

How do I know if I need the earlier Pontiac bracket? I have a 455 from a 72 Lemans in a 1969 Firebird.
