power steering gear box

[bert]

I have 1973 cuda 340. I need a power steering gear box, will a gear box from a 1972 demon 225 fit my 73 cuda 340?

Welcome Bert, I don't know if a Demon gear box will work or not. I just recently replaced my 73 Cuda & 440 with a Firm Feel stage II and was very impressed with the difference over the stock gear box. The cost of the gear box was around $400 - $450 plus shipping after the core charge.

Thanks for the information.

Can't say for certain but A-body steering gear is different than most. Some B-body steering components interchange with E-bodies

My name is Bert, I have a 1973 Cuda 340. I've had it for 30 years. I drive it a couple of times a week during the summer and to a few shows.

Welcome , Great looking Cuda !
I just looked on Rock auto , it doesn't list a power steering unit for 72 but it does for 73 which is the same part # between the Dart & Cuda so something changed between 72 & 73 so I would say no it will not work , I do agree that A Firm Feel or Steer & Gear stage 2 or 3 is a big upgrade over stock .

Very nice Cuda! Looks pretty original. Glad you have kept it for all those years

Welcome to the site from Arkansas! I know when Firm Feel did my steering box (aar ratio) , I was told the 73 shaft was larger. Not sure from A body to E though.
Nice looking Cuda!!

In 1973 the shaft size changed (Larger). Call Firm Feel (Left Coast) or Steer & Gear (East coast) They most likely can fix yours, My 73 Challenger has a power steering box from a 1980 Diplomat, Steer and Gear E-Mailed me the day they received it to let me know it wasn't original.
