YouŽll need to cut the shafts to get the right lenght.

okay great thanks. they was telling me at unisteer that i didnt have to cut the lower shaft . from what i can see here at home and from your install it does indeed need to be cut down . thanks much. im off to the garage to finish the install. what brand of headers are you using. ? i have the lemons big block for factory power steering im hoping they wont need a modification. okay thanks again . i will ad pic,s when im finished also for any other,s who may need them. :drive2:

okay got the kit installed . it turns out that the man i was talking to at unisteer named rich was not a tech and directed me in the wrong direction . he was in fact the company web designer. LOL anyways denney has me now and he suggested that i go to the hardware store and get some 3/4 inch wooden dowls to check shaft lengths as i have a small bind every full revolution. and before i cut anymore metal as what he says makes sense to me . its better to have 4-5 bucks worth of cut up wood on the work bench rather than a whole bunch of cut of steel that cant be used. denney is also over nighting me 2 new shafts just incase i cant use the one,s the web designer had me cut to what he felt was correct length,s. here is a pic of where im at now . once i have this all installed and working correctly i will drop some better tech info and pic,s for future use for other,s .

Just by the picture, the lower shaft looks a tad too long.
Who's headers are you using? and are your heads stock exhaust port location?
Thanks for the picture, think I can get mine to work now.

www.lemonsheaders.comyeah im gonna run through the steering again this morning and make the woden dowl shafts i have a lil bit of a bind and denny tells me it should turn smoothly. for headers i have lemons step tube big block factory power steering one,s . they exit the head at 2 1/8 and end up 2 5/8,s into a 4 inch collector. for heads im running dart pro 1 335 cnc and the exhaust port is raised if i remember right like .400 .
will have some more pic,s and info later today or by tomorrow . if the linik works correctly you can see the big block camaro headers.
