Steering Box in First Gen

[OldTimer]

I recently swapped in a '96 JGC steering box in my '69 Camaro. So far so good, but I'm probably going to do the pressure mod to the box to up the pressure. Dave Pozzi covers it in his steering and suspension guidelines. The old pumps run about 900 psi and these newer saginaw boxes run better at 1200 psi. As a last resort you can buy a modded pump for under $200, but the mod is worth a try.



The difference between the original power steering box and the JGC box is Night and Day. Bought mine for $40 locally from a guy who was parting out his wrecked JGC. Just got it aligned bc I did a full frontbend makeover with Helix tubular uppers &!lowers, ProForged BJs (tall uppers), Wilwood, CPP, and ProForged tie rod ends/sleeves plus my Hotchkis 2" springs.
