The original steering gear in the 1964-1974 A-car had a 13/16 inch OD input shaft with splines and a flat. The new fast ratio gear has a inch OD input shaft. We will need a new flexible coupling to connect to the gear. The following vehicles were produced with flexible couplings that will attach to the new gear: 1977 thru 1982 Chevrolet and GMC C/K (2 wheel and 4 wheel drive) Pickup Trucks 1977 and 1978 Camaro, Firebird, and Nova 1979 Nova 1983 thru 1986 Chevrolet and GMC C (2 wheel drive only) Pickup Trucks I have found a flexible coupling in the GM parts system that will connect to a input shaft. It is available through GM dealers. It is part number 7826542. It is fairly expensive (around $80 list) but it is brand new. Be sure to get the attaching pinch bolt, nuts, and lock washers when you purchase the flexible coupling. Flexible couplings attach to the steering gear with a special pinch bolt (#7807271). This bolt can be purchased from any GM dealer. Make sure that you use this correct bolt to fasten the flexible coupling to the gear. Please note, if the column flange is also detachable, you may require still another one of these special pinch bolts.
Getting back to the original question, does anyone have any input on which would be best for the street? The 12:1 quick ratio or the 16/13:1 variable ratio? My understanding of the variable is that you have 16:1 at slower speeds & then 13:1 at highway speeds. I beleive the variable also takes more turns of the steering wheel to go from side to side.
Great info Nate!:TU: This should be a 'sticky'. The early manual boxes also used the 3/4" coupler. Those would fit the late fast-ratio boxes. The late boxes also used metric hoses. The threads are close enough to work with the early std threads, but the late boxes use an o-ring seal. Adapters are avail from Lee Manufacturing for under $10.:TU:
