Re: power steering gear

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

George,
Really big difference in what power steering was meant to be in 1960's and 
today. I put manual steering in the Petty Car....Don't think it would be a 
problem in MS Cruiser, even with the 440 vs the /6 weight. Think I would 
like the road feel better. Just me rambling......pending project?
Ollie

That's the route I went also on my 64 Polara.I put a "stage II" on. It gives 
you
a much better fell of the road. better than the loosey gooset original 
boxes.

Brian,

I strongly recommend calling "Firm Feel" for a reman. power steering box; 
you
get your choice of "stages" of firmness. I had them rebuild my '67 Dart GT 
box
and it works perfectly without any slop whatsoever in the steering wheel! 
They
are race and performance oriented and know their product very well. Dick 
Ross,
the owner, will probably answer the phone and guide you through the process.
