Default Power to manual steering

Good day forum members
I am currently getting ready to install my big block into my 2wd 93 Dak.
I currently have a 3.9 with power steering and have located a new
manual rack to install when I do the swap to big block.
My question is: Are the steering shaft / connection on the manual
and power the same spline? size? length?

Thanks in advance.

Of course they changed the number of splines. The good thing is I think there is only one manual and one power rack .If you find a place that sells a coupler for the manual rack please post it .Flaming river sells couplers but by size only not by applications .

Why do you want to swap to manual? Will it not bolt up to the big block? There has to be some kind of pump for a big block and just swap it in. With manual is very hard to maneuver at slower speeds. Especially in parking lots. I can't stand driving with a manual steering? But if that is what you want then go for it.
