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...

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