steering box (68-72 a-body)

Or, have Hector rebuild your box!

 

Im so far away, and cant remove it where my car is parked so I need to swap it out so i can move the car.
I surely can send my box back to Hector when i got the new one in the car , but not before

 

power to manual use different rag joints and pitman arms

 

I have a manual core in my personal project I can have built tomorrow or wed but its not a quick ratio. I dont know of any quick ratio boxes

 

Needing to update my steering sector box. should I remove and have rebuilt?, or purchase?
I would like to go to a quick ratio steering sector box.
Does anyone have knowledge with this one?

That sure looks like an S-10 truck box. Believe that they have the same dimensions, though, as earlier manual jobs. top cover is different shape.

 

S10 box oke mm couldn't finda box with the same 4 bolt topcover when searching for A-body boxes. Maybe thats why.

 

Hi Hector, I counted the number from lock to lock, and its 7 steeringwheel turns in total.
I do not need a quickratio box (I just thought those would steer lighter then the stock manual steeringbox).
So a stock manual steeringbox for my 72 Skylark with 7 turns or less is oke.

Do you need any more info to determine what i have?
If so let me know.

 

they might make a 5 or 6 turn but un sure if its considered a quick ratiothey do not make any 3 turn for sure

 

5-6 is ok as long as they will not get any heavier with steering.
What can you recommend for me Hector? tnx for the help.

The box that have on it now is indeed not the OEM one, like Newmexguy said its a S10 box it has 7 1/4 turns, I found another picture and compared these and all is the same even the number stamped on it.

here a link to that box with all the info:

the rock auto box looks to be a stock box which is the same as the box i have and cheaper too.

Hector

 

Hi Hector, do you mean the Lares box that is the oem box for the 72 skylark, or the S10 box?

And what do i need to change more cause when i do an overlay of the specs of these 2 boxes then nothing is the same. I checked the 2 specs at rockauto every diameter etc is different between these 2.
Tnx for the help.

 

the cardone box you posted a link of from rock auto

 

Yes that the S10 box the original 72 Buick manual steeringbox new is even cheaper and is only a 6 turn box and the S10 is 6.9-7 1/2 turns
But like I said the specs are different from the OEM box, what do you I need to make the change to the better steering OEM box?
Or is the S10 better then the OEM box, does anyone know?

to be honest with you Manual boxes are not my thing. I can rebuild them but dont deal with them that often to tell you which is better. sorry

 

No Problem, I would like to have a PS over a manual box anyday, but that isn't very easy to convert to with my engine setup.

 

which motor are you running?

 

This one with an externaloilpump with wide belt and a one groove pulley for the alternator.

 

Might be some work but what the heck: Volvo Electric power steering pump conversion
do some research/figure it out: https://www.corral.net/threads/volvo-electric-power-steering-conversion-full-write-up.2499503/

 

Tnx enough volvo's downhere in Europe.
But I like this car to do it the old way
