1965 Steering box
Hello
I have a 65 396 convertible that was a manual steering car and now has power assist steering. The steering box is sloppy, although the conversion is great.
Anyone have ideas on the best ratio and steering box to use without costing an arm and leg ?
Thank you

Be sure you are set up using the forward most holes in the steering arms for the tie rod ends. It's required to prevent damage to the steering slave cylinder, but it also will remove some of the perceived slop. Otherwise....what John said....
