Thinking back on this plus having owned five first year Firebirds (goofy one finger power steering with the numb, no road feel), I do recall how steering was made easier for manual steering cars. Gigantic steering wheels, LARGE diameter and therefore, lots of torque input to that steering box. Steering wheel swap of some kind maybe? :)
Yeah, I did do a steering wheel swap on the Olds... to a little walnut custom jobby that you probably remember seeing around in the '60s and '70s... you may have had one or two yourself. Kind of went the opposite direction with the whole torque thing though...
