I
switched to the AGR unit on my 67 SS and used my existing pump which is a 71 454
Impala unit based on the recommendation of March Performance who made my pulley
setup. The steering effort is a bit harder but not much. Where you
can now probably "palm" the wheel to make a normal turn you can't with the
AGR. I do like the quicker ratio for sure. If you have time to wait,
you might also consider sending it off to http://www.powersteering.com/ for
a rebuilt. It's a bit less expensive and others say they are pretty
good.
Personally, I bought the new AGR unit so I could keep my old one
as a spare and when I get started on my 67 Elky, I'll probably have the one from
the SS rebuilt. It's nice to have a spare (or core) so your ride isn't
down for 2 or 3 weeks waiting for the rebuild plus shipping
time.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Fast ratio steering boxHi,
I'm looking to change the stock (17.5:1) steering box on my '67 Chevelle. On the web I have seen fast ratio boxes by AGR, and Global West. Has anyone had any experience with these? Did you go to a 12.5:1 or use a variable rate like those offered by AGR? AGR also offers pumps to match, any experience with these?thanks,
Guy
