The steering box in my '66 is leaking like a sieve (around the pitman shaft seal). It needs to go. This is a power unit. There have been many discussions on this list that have revolved around power vs. non-power and retro-fitting a faster ratio box to an earlier car. I have saved lots of discussions in many categories, but steering boxes aren't one of them. Can anyone please dredge up some earlier steering box subject matter or summarize suggested swaps? I'm particularly interested in the conversion specifics (rag joint and high-pressure fitting) required to adapt a newer, close-ratio box to my column. Also, if there are suggested sources for the suggested replacements, that would be helpful. I may put the new box into my '70 and move that box to the '66. I'm assuming that, for the sake of steering boxes, the same methods apply for both. Thanks in advance, Darrell Spencer Cave Creek, AZ '70 Malibu '66 El Camino ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
