I would like to convert my 108 type 250S 1967 Mercedes sedan to power steering from manual steering . I have the Power Steering Box from a 1967 SE. ( I have a whole 67SE Parts car )
My installed Steering Column is a Manual Shift 4 speed forward so I Can't use the steering Column from the automatic shift "parts car" I have darn.
My Plan was to simply install the Power Steering Box and connect it to the Steering Column at the Steering Coupling "However I noted that the Power Steering Box ends up closer to the firewall then the Manual Steering Box by perhaps a inch or so .
So the Question is :
(1) If I install the power steering box can I move the steering column up toward the inside of the Car so that I can connect them ?
(2) well the Manual Shift linkage still work with the Steering Column now moved up ?

Can it be done ? has anyone done this ever by chance ?
Of course I must also install a Pump / a drive belt and such that seems simple.
Or ? Perhaps Manual Column shift 108 Cars simply did not have power steering perhaps I don't know ?
I have done this conversion on many other cars but never on a Mercedes.

Thanks if anyone knows about such
