[NoVa-Corvairs] Anybody have a Spare Steering Gear Box?

[Mark Walters]

Hi All,

  To investigate the play in my steering, I wiggled under my car to have a look at the pitman arm while my girlfriend slowly rotated the steering wheel.  I noticed there was a large dead spot where rotation of the steering wheel translated in NO movement in the pitman arm.  

  A couple years ago, looseness in my steering was adjusted/minimized when Ron clued me into the worm gear adjustment hole in the trunk (I didn't even know it was there) and tightened things up for me.  

  I think it's time to retire the steering gear box in my 1965 Corsa.  Does anybody have a spare steering box they'd like to sell?  I suppose this is also an opportunity to upgrade to a quick ratio steering box.  Do I want to do that?

  Thanks everyone!  I hope you've all been out in your Corvairs this week enjoying the fine weather!
