Power Steering Box Size
Hi,
I am trying to gauge if I will have any problems installing the power steering box in my 1967 Camaro. See the attached picture. I have 1/8 clearance between the header and my manual steering box.
Does anyone know if there is a size difference between the manual steering box and power steering box in the dimension shown in the picture?
Thanks!
Chris

There are kits for converting and then there are these rack and pinion kits if you want great steering. https://www.rickscamaros.com/1967-69...super-kit.html

Roger. I've seen the kits but nobody from the sellers can verify the dimensions of the power unit. I only have .25" clearance btwn current man box and headers. Love those headers when the right foot is involved; would love to throw them in a smelting oven whenever the box wrench is in hand.
thx for the links

I realize this is a pretty old thread but I'll go ahead and post in case anyone uses the search function and need to know in the future.
There is a size difference between the 2 boxes but not much.
I measured both with my caliper so Ill let you do the math and see if its 1/8" or not

Thanks for posting that info. I ended up putting a close ratio p/s box in my '69 (BB 502) w/ Sanderson Blockhuggers. Had to file down part of the p/s unit AND dent a header tube to get .25" clearance.
But oh is the power steering so worth it....
