This kit uses a rear steer center take off rack & pinion mounted to a solid one piece bracket which bolts up to the frame using the original holes for the steering box and Idler Arm. This kit is specific to Fairlane's only, not for other model Fords of the same year. This kit works with Small Block Motors only. Installs have been done on vehicles with the 289 & 302 motors in them. Stock manifolds should work, otherwise use Hooker Long Tube or Competition Headers. Other headers may work, but may require modification.
Two sets of outers are included to match either sized taper found on the steering arms of these cars.
Note: This kit will not work with the factory column shifter, but it will work with an aftermarket column shifter.
