I am restoring a '69 Z/28 and I am trying to determine if it has a quick ratio box.

First, welcome to the site. As for steering box id, David's web page is the best info resourse. David's page (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/David_Pozzi/first_gen_suspension.htm) Also, the search option on top of every page is a great help on thousands of topics. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I have a group purchase going on over at Team Chevelle (but its in the members area) on AGR Fast ratio boxes if your intrested. $285 shipped to your door, regular price is $335 from summit. Email me at Chvellss@aol.com if you interested in getting in on it. Here is some info on the box

Engineered for street performance. Features the 12:1 ratio, the fastest turning ratio available. Firm race type valving, enhances road feel and offers precise handling. This box is designed for the driver who wants a quick steering box with race car type handling. OEM top covers and end caps are used, adding an OEM-look finish. This is the perfect box for the restorer looking for a high performance box while retaining the original factory look.

I ordered my car with the non-power steering fast steering option on it and mine turns about 3.5 turns lock to lock against the A-arm stops.

It has the long pitman and short spindle arms..

It will turn a 90 degree corner in about one turn at speed !!!

David's site will explain all this really gfood...

Thanks guys! Good help!

check my web site below for info on how to check a box. You really need stiffer valving the new boxes use.
