Greatly improves handling, responsiveness and steering effort. Custom gear is designed the stock suspension and has no bump steer. Installation is simple but does require cutting your steering column. Includes all parts required for installation on a stock steering column plus instructions. Small block cars require the use of a mini starter. 6 inch travel, 2.75 turns lock to lock.
This is a center take-off style rack and pinion that utilizes an offset ball center bar which duplicates the stock center link; this means that the rack matches the exact geometry of the original front suspension. Effectively eliminating bump steer, and creating great handling.
The rack comes mounted to a one piece mounting bracket which replaces the tubular cross member located directly behind the front suspension, Since the racks are center take-off style, we offset the rack on the mounting bracket; moving the pinions closer to the driver-side frame which makes connection of the steering linkage to a column as easy as possible. ** Uses 67-69 8 cyl. M/S outer tie rods not included, see 3A130-5 or 3A130-5S **
The kit will work on small block & big block cars, and have been successfully used with stock manifolds, and Hooker Super Comp Headers, Other Headers may work, but we can't guarantee an easy install. This kit requires the use of a mini starter. This kit may require some modifications on Mustangs with Dart Heads and other Aftermarket Heads requiring different headers.
