Whatever you change to, you may have to modify the pitman arm on one end or the other depending upon which one you use. If you use the arm from the box, you may have to cut off the end and have it replaced with the end from the pitman arm in the car; or if you use the arm from the car you may have to cut off the end at the box and use the one which cam with the box. Also, you may have to modify the length of the pitman arm as well. I had to do this when I converted from power steering to manual steering on a '69 Delta. I think I used a manual box from a '78 Omega (or maybe a Buick counterpart to that can't remember).

Try Rock Auto Parts. They might have the manual steering box for your car.
