Re: 73 Blazer steering question

How big or small is the steering wheel? It may sound silly, but a smaller wheel somewhat quickens the action. When I first drove mine the PO had installed a little 12 or 13" steering wheel and it was nervous to drive. All I had to do was sneeze at the wheel and it wanted to dart in another direction. I swapped a leather wrapped stock 4 spoke wheel from a 90/91 Chevy truck that is a larger diameter and the nervousness calmed down.

If you are running a stock sized steering wheel, you might want to check the sector adjustment on the steering box. If it's set too tight, it will feel similar.
