I remember the WS 6 marketing package had a slightly larger front rear sway bar and AR sway bar....perhaps it was lower after the J/X left the market place..

But J/X won TRANS AM...

Off topic, but back to the Parts Catalogue for clarification please.
Section 10.360-1 Power Steering Kit, every listing for part numbers has "LPS" in the description, including Series 80, Ambassador, that did not come with manual steering to my knowledge.
LPS cannot mean "Lack Power Steering".
Thinking is it's exactly opposite by the parts:
LPS - ? Power Steering, Leveraged or maybe Luxury??? 
WPS - Without Power Steering
Blank - Common to both
The steering box bodies were very similar. Parts Manual does not break manual vs power steering boxes down by sections, so it seems logical that many parts must interchange.

IMHO...  Its not off topic.  It's on Topic.... Thank you.  This is a knowledge transfer  ..I don't want to blindly go buy something anymore. 

Off topic.... my Chevy Friend is going to help me cross reference w GM interchange manual. And help me with my 401.

Off Topic.  And heartbreaking.  My Ford Friend  is not in a good place before he could share and transfer his knowledge....please  pray for him Brilliant.

Didn't I read in another thread that someone rebuilt a ps box to quick ratio with guts from a 90's jeep box?
