Manual Steering box question

[gtxno1]

Hi everyone my 70 cuda resto project came with a manual box was thinking about going with the quick ratio box does anyone out there have one in their car and do you like it . I have a 67 B body with stage 2 power steering and do not like it wish I went with stage 3

I assume you know there is no quick ratio box without power steering & the quick ratio was a longer pitman arm

PST makes a 16-1 quick ratio manual box

I put a flaming river 16:1 quick ratio steering box in my 71 cuda and i like it

FR1540 - Mopar Manual Steering Box: Small Sector - Quick Ratio

Quick Ratio 16:1 Direct Bolt in! All New Mopar Replacement Manual Steering Box (Fits later years by changing the pitman arm) designed for the early Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth. This steel box is much stronger than the original and quicker ratio (16:1).

Don't forget.Change the pitman arm for longer one.you have to change the idle arm too.

Felt like it always did not enough road feel especially with that big ass bus steering wheel

I have a MP 20:1 manual chuck in large spline (C-Body/B-Van) factory box on my Challenger.

With a 440 in front, you plan your 3 point turns. Underway it's fine.

Biggest problem is the there is a select fit for one of the internal bits that minimizes the dead center - if not size on size you get a bit of slop even with the sector adjusted correctly. IIRC it had something to do with end play on the chuck itself.

I think they are or were not available when I did mine.

I'd be tempted to go to a Borgeson but I wish it took the standard slip coupling.
