I recently put one in my 67. It made a big difference. More responsive
feel and less soft and sloppy. They provide a new box, no core, and it
looks original. There's another company, Power Steering, Inc (I think),
that will rebuild your existing box with a tighter ratio.

Donnie,
I can't answer your question directly, but here's a
reference point: the 1967 Chevelle brochure doesn't list radial tires as an
option. It does list whitewall tires, so the opportunity was there to include
radials if Chevy was offering them in mid-to-late 1966 when the brochure was

I have a similar problem with my 67 SS. I think
it's caused by worn, original bushings on all the trailing arms. The
vibration starts around 60 MPH. It feel strange and I think it's the rear

Michael,
I hope you have an older Caddy engine than Sarah
lists below. The 1969 version of the 472 had 10.5:1 compression, 375 HP at 4400
RPM, 525 lb-ft torque at 3000 RPM. The 1970 version had 10:1 compression, same
HP and torque rating (hmmm?). The 1971 version had 8.5:1 compression, 345
Your speedometer will read about 13% high at
all speeds (3.08/2.73 = 1.128).

Air shocks usually come with a fill valve, a tee fitting and plastic
lines/fittings to each shock. The fill valve is probably mounted along the
bottom of the rear bumper. It looks like a tire valve. I have them on my 67

Hello T in SC,
You are basically correct about how to determine
the rear end ratio. For a 3.73:1 ratio it's actually 3 and almost 3/4 (.75)
revolutions of the drive shaft to one revolution of the tires. It equates to the
number of teeth on the ring gear (driving the tires) divided by the nu
