Stiffer steering?

Hey all,

I'd like to stiffen up the power steering effort...

Is there a later model or other direct swap steering gear that adds more effort and 'feel' to the steering? Right now it's way too easy like it's Bluetooth steering.
I'd like to keep the lock-to-lock ratio if possible.

Thanks

 

Thanks

 

Yup, replace the steering box with one from Hector.

 

There is a kit that you " Modify " PS pressure . You have to remove the Pressure line and relief valve and add shims . I have one of the kits at my other garage but won't be there for a week or so to get the address and info . If I remember correctly it was like $25 or $30 . I thought there was a thread about it here .

 

That would be great. That's all I'm really looking for.

 

I plan to use it on my 69 Electra . As I remember there were several different shims to change the pressure to different levels . I should have the info in a week or so .

 

I would like to steer a little stiffer too

 

GM P/S Pump Pressure Reducing Shim Kit
I did this to my car and it did the trick.

I should have remembered that place from when I did an LS swap on my Camaro. Thanks

 

Yeah that's the one . Thanks Nick

 

Nick . Do you remember which shim you used or what you dropped the pressure to ?? I just quickly read the instructions years ago and I think it gave an actual pressure reading drop with the different shims .

 

Curious if you like it ?

 

I bought one of Hector's steering boxes for my 67. The steering isn't sports car heavy, but it is infinitely better than stock. I actually quite enjoy cruising through twisty backroads in this car and I feel like the steering box is a big contributor to that.
