New Dumb question
Did 1970 LT1 Corvettes have the option such as power steering? I am looking at a 70' and the guy insists power steering was not available, seem odd. I have referance books but am unable to verify. Thanks "again" Mike in San Diego.

 Mike,
At the top of the page we have a section called "Tech Center" within this section is a sub-section called "Model Center" there you can find all the "Options" for 1970.. Here is a quick link to the page with the 1970 Options 
Power Steering appears to have been an option in 1970 (option #N40)
Another source is Mike Antonick's Corvette BLACK Book

The 1970 LT1 option was ZR1 the N40 option (power steering)of that year was not available with the ZR1 option, so he is right, power steering was not an option on the 1970 LT1.
Taken from the "black Book"

Power steering was not available in this year as the oil pan was 'too long' and would interfere with the steering ram.

Hold it
If power steering is not an option on an LT1 in 1970 then I better buy a 71' or a 72'. Still looking. Thanks all, Mike in San Diego

Power steering was not an option on early 70 LT-1s with the CTU engine code but was available with the latter cars with the CTK code.
