Steering Box Quick Ratio ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72MARIO · 07-24-2005, 09:36 PM

Oky well I got the 67 on the road. My ares are tired. It's like a million turns lock to lock. What else can I use that is a faster ratio ? It's a 72 2WD. What doner truck ?

Thanks,

I have an ECE quick ratio box that takes out a full turn lock to lock. It seems like I read somewhere that a 79 pickup has the same ratio. I don't know if that is true, however you can count the turns lock to lock and find out.

How many turns does it take from lock to lock ? Could you check so I know what number I should seee ?

My ECE box takes not quite 3.5 turns to go from lock to lock. This is right at one full turn less than the factory Power steering box that I removed.

3.5 is pretty quick. I have an ECE box to go on my '68 when the time comes. My '02 S10 has the zq8 package with quick ratio steering which is 3.0:1 and it's a little twitchy at speed... not real bad, but it certainly lives up to it's name (quick).

AGR boxes are about 3-3.5 turns.
