I think I'm gonna wait...at least til the end of January. The price on the ZQ8 box isn't bad, all factors considered. I gotta get the pump changed, tho. I'll prolly do lines at the same time.
I gotta play with my organ and get to bed. r On 11/25/2010 5:16 PM, Chris Lindh wrote:
Advance's deal on the standard steering would be $155 minus $40 discount plus $55 core. Rockauto has the standard unit for $99.79 plus a $200(!) core. They also have the ZQ8 steering box for $128.79 plus a $100 core, that would be my choice, although I'd want to research what that upgrade entails. (Turns lock to lock, whether it's a straight swap or requires different hoses, etc.).

I thought that if I could get a quick ratio box for the $77 price, it'd be worth holding onto and swapping out when I do the power steering pump...which has to happen fairly soon. I otta put new shocks on the thing, too. r On 11/24/2010 7:54 PM, Chris Lindh wrote: I did a search for your '95 Burb and they list a different part number for it, 3 turns lock to lock with standard FE2 suspension. It's more expensive too. Is your steering bad or were you looking to upgrade? The only reason I'm looking at a replacement box is mine leaks (like a geyser) and it's a Saginaw with the "ring retained" cover, not an 800 box. I'd like to try a new Delphi box... but $77 is a lot better than $400+.
