Steve,
 
  If you are going to install  new/rebuilt power steering, you should "step-up" to a 12:1 constant-ratio gearbox.  Here is a link to the company I had rebuild my original: http://www.powersteering.com  
 
GM quick-ratio gearbox conversions
Make your musclecar handle as well as it runs and make your driver more fun to drive. We can convert your slow existing power gearbox to a fast quick-ratio 12:1 constant-ratio gearbox using new factory parts. With our conversion, no other changes to your hoses or coupler are necessary. Just remove the gearbox and ship it to us, with or without the pitman arm attached, and it will be returned to you ready to install in about 2 weeks. Exchange units are also available. $219.95 plus shipping. 
 
Cannot comment on the quality or feel of the power steering yet, as my car is still a couple months away from being completed (rushing to make the CHEVELLABRATION 2003 deadline !!!).  There was an article written in Muscle Car Review a few years ago, that is where I found this company. 
 
Good Luck,

Subject: [Chevelle-List] P.S. gearbox ratio

I am in the market for a power steering box for my 1968 SS and could use input on whether to buy a 3-31/2 turn  or 4- 4 1/2 turn box rebuilt model.  Price is the same and I think I now have a 4 turn unit.  Any experienced advice on the subject would be appreciated!
