HEADERS AND STEERING
« on: February 22, 2015, 02:57:52 PM »
just a pic of what the headers turned out like .with the steering all hooked up .  I thought the steering wheel was unique . but it does not work well sitting on the floor with no power .on the steering it is lock to lock in a half a turn or the steering is very quick , maybe to quick

Your pitman arm is pretty long. That could contribute to both issues.

Loving the square headers. The steering arm looks long but if you shorten it too much bump steer may become a problem

I have seen them before , not really sure were you could put it on this . they were used with a steering column and fit in a shaft type . I will have to wait and see how it works , worst case is I would have to go to a reg. type steering box .
