The Bergman Auto Craft kit is a Borgeson PS unit and is 14:1 ratio.
You must know if you have the small or large sector before ordering.

Borgeson x3
Thanks everyone ! Bergman / Borgeson it is ... Since my pump is leaking also, the complete kit seems to be the way to go !
bergmanautocraft.com
the website says it should be a small sector, ( see below ) I talked to Pete Bergman, he said small sector
market that bolts in directly, uses factory parts and does NOT require cutting your steering column!
Small sector boxes were used on 72 and prior vehicles, except C bodies.
NOTE *Due to the higher operating pressures of the updated style steering box, a cooler is recommended*

BAC Steering Box Upgrade Master Kit is a true 14:1 power steering box conversion kit that features much better feel than OE boxes.

Bergman mentions ( recommends ) the cooler for the PS unit ? Did you add a cooler ?

Lars unit looks interesting, basically same as Borgenson.
It looks like you have to buy some extra parts separately though?
I have the Borg box, not as impressed with it as others here.

The Borgeson unit is the way to go. My brother installed it in his 340 car, and it works beautifully.

Hi Michael
I ordered the master upgrade kit from Bergman Auto Craft since I need a pump also,... have not got it yet, Home - Bergman Auto Craft - Home of Quality Muscle Car Parts Shoot them an email or call, they will know which box to send I believe, the also have pics and instructions for the install
Hope this helps....

will do. pump is ok. trhanks
Thanks RayCuda, got the Borgeson Box, Pump and cooler installed, I'm thrilled with it !!!
I am so happy you are thrilled with your install. As I said, my brother did it and he loves it. I drove his car, and the feel is fantastic, nice and tight, not sloppy like mine feels. Time to bite the bullet and do mine next.
