Re: Quick ratio steering box - what year? 1976? 1978
I've got a box out of about a '72 van on my '69. (manual to power conversion)
Even though it's 4 turns lock to lock, it can still be a bit "twitchy" on the freeway.
I don't know what's available, or what would even fit, but if you don't want to change the steering box, a longer pitman arm will "speed up" the steering. Naturally, you'd have to readjust the toe.
For a side note, I put an aftermarket pitman arm "extension" on my VW based sand buggy and I ended up with about 1 1/2 turns lock to lock. It was great for chasing jackrabbits in the desert.
