85- 87 monte SS, GS, GNX, cutless with touring suspension is the 12.7:1
constant ratio lock to lock. bolt-in with no problems. To reuse your
existing lines you will need a $68.00 kit that gives you everything from
the knuckle to the inserts to keep your old lines. As matter of fact I'm
currently installing everything off an 86 SS El Camino, 1 1/4 sway bar and
all. This box isn't the fast 12.7:1 but a lot better then 16:1 manual. The
box from the elky is 14.7:1 variable ratio. The pump and brackets came from
a 68 suburban with short style water pump. You can use the Z28's but you
will have to remove the stops inside which is very hard to do. "not
recommended". If you e-mail me at home ([EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll give you
the directions to order the kit. I spent about $150.00 for the whole thing
including the bushings at Oriely's & ADDCO end links from Autozone.

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,
