A body Steering Boxes

Most of these boxes used bushings throughout, however, the B-body V-8 units were built for more abuse and used bearings internally instead of the bushings.

So without starting a new thread, is there any advantage to using a B body manual box in an A body?

The bearing version should provide smoother operation and less internal resistance from the box. But it would be a fairly minor effect.

ORIGINAL 16:1? Not trying to argue but what car originally came with that ratio?

It was a factory option on A-bodies from ~66 through to 1969.

AFAIK they all were that ratio.....15.9:1 IIRC.

Factory stock ratio was 24:1
