Title: Who rebuilds power steering boxes as quick ratio?
Post by: kcombs on February 13, 2023, 05:15:22 PM
Several years ago I had the steering box on my Bucamino rebuilt and made into a quick ratio unit. Unfortunately, at my age, I seem to forget people and businesses that I haven't had contact with in many years as is the case for the steering box. If you have a contact who does these rebuilds and conversions, please let me know as this is a good time to have it done (while having the carb rebuilt).

Another recommendation for Hector. He rebuilt my steering gear with quick ratio gears and returned it in the condition i wanted for restoration.

Two thumbs up!!

  I go thru my local auto parts dealer and get the A1-Cardone rebuilt close ratio units . I have these units in all of my GSs and recommended them to other A-Body owners and never had any complaints about them. They come painted in gloss black.
