TOoOoo early in the A.M. for that! ^^^
I was married to a redhead. 5'4", 95lbs. A 'sportster'! Hotter n'hell! ...and...Bat sh*t F'n crazy.
The stuff of nightmares.
Took years to be able to sleep without one eye open & a shiv under the pillow.
Damn. That pic popped up on my screen &...
Eyes are burning. Stomach's in a knot. Heart pounding. Cold sweats.
Phew.
Breathe. Just breathe.
Breathe deep.

Thanks, man. Keep that stuff up & you'll make 'The List'.

Gotta go check the B/P now.
(Still...breathing deep.)

Some of the OEM faster ratio boxes have different steering stops which can reduce your turning radius.
I do not know what fits the 400's but I have Grand Cherokee boxes in Novas and Chevelle. The company that made the hose adaptors is out of business. You also have to have the correct pump, or swap pressure relief parts to match the box.

I disagree, had too many problems with a redhead
I used a local rebuilder for my steering box. Same price as a generic jobber from the local parts guys. Less than the Big Name sellers.
The last few years, I've read of Redhead, Bluetop, & others having probs with quality control. Bearing issues. Sealing problems.
Local guy will build with my choice of ratios.
Best part? IF anything ever goes wrong, I'm dealing with the actual person who did the job in the first place.
None of this 'sending away' to be analyzed, waiting-waiting-waiting, with a 50/50 chance of a No Warranty decision.
Local guy = Under warranty or not, I walk in with a S/box & I walk out with one. That day.

Now that’s a red head!
Thank you for the wealth of information. As asked, my truck wanders, I have had every part in the steering/ suspension replaced, the guy at the local Midas, says it’s the steering box. So, if that needs replacing, might as well upgrade ( along with a new 383 I had built), so I want a more positive “wheel feel”.

I was almost killed by a redhead who had a drug problem and tried very hard to keep them in my life and it ended up just not working out

they are dead now, tho, and its left me pretty scared

But they are very attractive, yes.

Dont know what all htis talk about steering boxes are... hehe

I'm running my laptop through a 60" screen.
She was a REALLY big pic.
Bam! Right there in room. Larger than life.
Almost ghacked on the coffee. It was only the second sip of the first cup.
If the coffee hadn't of been hot, I'd of swore it was another nightmare.
