I have a 1980 camaro I recently installed an 87 iroc steering gear box into. The total travel/ turning radius or degrees is not enough. Does anyone know which stock gm box has the most travel that I can bolt right in. I've heard of late 80's monte carlo ss, 95-98 jeep grand cherokee, and S10 ZQ8 boxes.
Go here http://jimshea.corvettefaq.com/?cat=4 and do some looking, Here is what I found
1980-81
CF F Perf V8 16-13:1 17-22 0.185 Dia 33deg 30min
BW F 16-13:1 14-20 0.175 Dia 33deg 30min
BY F-Z28 14:1 17-22 0.185 Dia 33deg 30min
1987 thru 93
WS F Z28 12.7:1 24-30 0.204 Dia 35 deg
XH F w/FE2 Level IV 12.7:1 28-34 0.210 Dia 32 deg
JL F-Base 14:1 20-26 0.195 Dia 35 deg
Sounds like you have a 32deg box looks like a WS coded box is what you want. It will have more travel than stock and will be faster with a heavier more connected feel.
