Class up your Chevelle/El Camino steering with this bolt in Rack & Pinion to greatly improve your handling, your steering, and your
life in the fast lane...ok maybe not that far.
This was specifically designed to fit Chevy A-Body cars. This is a front steer center take off style rack & pinion mounted on a one-piece bracket that bolts in the same mounting holes used for the factory steering box and idler arm. The rack matches the stock suspension on these cars replicating the original center link.
This clears the Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage. It has been used on both Small Block and Big Block motor cars. Stock Manifolds work with both motors and on Big Blocks, we have used Super Comp Headers while on Small Block Motors, Hooker Competition Headers have been used. Other headers may work but may need modification.
Note: Rack & Pinion on Bracket Only.
Note: Most Aftermarket Heads have raised exhaust floors by 1/4" to 1/2" which does not make clearance any easier.
Note: This will also bolt into a 1964-67 big block El Camino.
A special note on big block motor cars: There are several different designs, Mark IV, Mark V, and Mark VI. The original Mark IV design has a deck height of 9.8", the Mark V and Mark VI designs have a deck height of 10.2". The 0.4" difference affects clearance on these big block cars. Mark V and Mark VI designed cars will probably need header modification.
