Good Manual 16:1 steering box, Possibly B body pitman

I have a 16:1 manual in a SB 68 Barracuda. I like it a lot except when parking.
If you want to get an idea of the feel, just drive around with the PS belt removed. I did that for about 3 yrs and when I finally got around to putting in a real manual box, there really wasn't any perceptible difference in effort (same ratio as PS box) I don't think I'd want one in a B body though.

Yes there is/was a 20:1 worm gear set availabke from Direct Connection which is right in the middle of 16 and 24. You can get them from the 2 companies that rebuild the Chrysler boxes. Steer and Gear?

I'm assuming you realize there are new 16:1 manual boxes available? Cast iron housing instead of die cast aluminum.
