here is a picture to help you spot a rare 16:1 Formula S or 68/69 dart option 16:1 steering wormscrew and ballnut

i know few have manual steering but i guess the ballnut and screw thread pitch will be similar on 24?6:1 and 20:1 power assist boxes

so may be usful

spot the difference with the other picture

and don't be tempted to buy the other for car use unless you don't know if you are coming or going

That truck version would keep you on your toes...turn left and you'd be going right!

Or have I got that back to front?

Or inside out?

Or not at all... :roll:

excatly

i nearly paid 100 for that

then compared with a 20:1 one i had to hand and all became apparent

still trying to work out what the aussie stuck in their RT/Police only 16:1 box

was truck length i.e short necessitating a longer steering shaft

but it sure as hell didn't go backwards

that one is off a 60s d100

the others are all standard length with the barracuda S one being the aim. can keep my column then...why the aussies didn't just use that is strange.

all based on Saginaw design so maybe a chevy or ford one will do the job
