Not the CL, when you turn the wheel all the way from one side to another it is called "lock to lock"

Just doing a little research for my 1970 Active Handling retrofit. The steering sensor measures what direction, how far and how fast the steering wheel is turned. In order to adapt the system I need to make my 70 have a similar lock to lock and steering ratio.

My C-4 with the Z51 package is two turns lock-to-lock.
My C-5 non-Z51 is two and 5/8's turns lock-to-lock.
