How many turns lock to lock on this setup?

HAVE DRIVEN IT A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY.I UNFORTUNATELY INSTALLED A FULL SPOOL IN THE REAR AND THAT OF COURSE DOES NOT HELP WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN.BUT IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM.THE CAR HAS RUN A BEST OF 11.9 AT THE TRACK.IT WAS SLIPPING THE REAR WHEELS.PULLED A SORRY 1.75 60FT AND A 7.4 1/8 MI.WITH FULL EXHAUSTabodyjoe said:i don't know.. but if it steers anything like mine he will be very happy..
abodyjoe said:cool... got any pictures of what you did to the spindles to get them to be front steer??

HOW FAR ARE THE TIEROD ENDS ON YOUR STEERING BEHIND THE RACK BODY ITSELF?YOUR STEERING IS SWEEEEEEET!!
WISH MINE LOOKED THAT NICE.BUT I AM HAPPY WITH MY $100 STEERING CONVERSION.
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE DISTANCE THE RACK IS AHEAD OF THE SPINDLE?WHAT KIND OF SPINDLES DO U HAVE?abodyjoe said:you know i really don't remember. i'll have to check it out tomorrow when i get home from work... i thought they were pretty even....
i have the alter-k-tion set up in mine..
i agree with u there.its been 103 deg.for the last 2 weeks.i have a new m1 intake to port and install along with 750 double pumper.and comp.engineering adjustable rear shocks.its been to hot to even mess with it.nice pictures on the front suspension/steering.how much weight did it save by eliminating the torsion bars and with the rack over stock?what does a kit like that cost?thanks for the pictures.really looks good.it looked to me like the tierods are pretty well straight across from the rackbody itself.looks great.wish i could have afforded something like that.but my wife gave birth to our twin girls 6 weeks ago.so my play time and money are now going somewhere else besides my car now.Ha ha..they are very much worth it.My first children.abodyjoe said:no i haven't gotten my lazy *** out there yet.. been working 12 hour night shift all week and with the heat i really haven't wanted to do anything..lol. keep reminding me and i will measure it... i have a modified mustang II style spindle. the rack is also a flaming river mustang II style also.... here are a ton of pictures from when i installed interested.. http://www.dodgecoronet.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=305
wow well I see I was not the only one to try this with a stock k-frame I have not driven mine yet but looks like it will work ok. my pics are under jrat garageon this site.blackace said:Here it is!!!!

It does I wonder what else could be done?? I am loosing some turning radais but thought I could live with that, but I do not think I can live with bad handling. Money is a issue as with most people, I wonder if some different ball joints could be the answer?momopar said:The problem with switching ball joints is it throws out the designed "Ackerman" Therefore the turning radius would differ in the wrong direction as it turns. Is this the case on this chnge over?
Thx...
