G-body steering box F41
my GP has a factory F41 suspension. invoice states it has "special steering gear".
i would assume i have the 12.7 box.
so assuming this, most likely is best and no need to upgrade, correct?

More to it than just ratio, there's effort and feedback. and 20+ years of wear.
The decision to change should be based on what you want the steering to feel like, not just a single objective number like box ratio. On a car I identified as a daily driver (84 el Camino), Lee talked me out of a higher effort box. On the toy (70 Camaro) that I described as an occasional driver, maybe occasional track days or autocross, he suggested that a high effort box was appropriate.

it's going to be almost stock for the most part.
will be upgrading susp, brakes but nothing crazy. upgrade to 16 or 17" wheels.
will be driven daily during summer months.
btw, it would be rebuilt. as it has almost 200k on it.1982 Grand Prix LJ: 3.8~T-top~buck/con
