Steering Rack brands finding a Ford design 3 turn

The guy I built my truck with has been dogging me to get a slower rack than the 2.5 turn (for an 88 T-bird) on it now ....so, been researching getting a one-piece Ford design 3 turn rack originally for an 88 T-bird (and others), which appears to be difficult.

So far I've found Cardone 22-203F and Atlantic Automotive AAE6406.

Specs from Atlantic:

The Cardone is sold locally through Advance Auto and the Atlantic though Autozone stores. A call to Autozone said they couldn't get an Atlantic. Their cheaper brand (Duralast) appeared to be TRW rebuilds.

I called Advance, they could get the Cardone, so went down to order one and then went to pick it up today. I quick test and it turned out to be 2.5 turns...back to the drawing board.

I talked to one suspension builder a couple week ago who said he ordered 6 supposedly 3 turn racks - what he got was (1) - the rest were 2.5....that doesn't look good..

... Kind of reluctant to get anything online with out someone testing it for turns... Anyone have any luck.?
