PST's New Production Mopar 16:1 Manual Steering Box $459

Today I pulled the old 24:1 steering box out of my 71' Dart. The car is a 383/727 with TTi 1 7/8" shorty headers.
I did not attempt to remove the pitman arm, instead I dropped the drivers side tie-rod end from the hub side to get the drag link loose from the pitman arm. After removing the steering column from the steering box and removing the 3 steering box bolts I found that I was not able to rock the steering box upward with out hitting the motor mount, headers were not an issue.
So after removing the Schumacher torque rod and lower mounting plate that I have on this engine I was able to get to the motor mount nuts to free the drivers side up, placed a floor jack under the oil pan and raised the motor up about 2 inches and was then able to roll out the steering box from the top side. Reversed the process to install the new 16:1 steering box.

The 16:1 box does take a lot more effort to turn at slow speeds and slightly more when driving than the old 24:1 box,
the steering is now as tight as new car and will now respond to a slight wheel turn when driving. If your on the fence about purchasing this box I feel that it's worth doing just don't try to turn at slow speeds unless your rolling.
