This kit is vary similar to our Fairlane kits for the same model year, but with slight differences. This kit is a center take-off rear steer rack & pinion. The rack comes mounted on a one piece bracket. This kit is specific to Rancheros only, not other model Fords of the same years. The kit fits cars with small block motors only; installs have been done using vehicles with the 289 and 302 motors. Installs have also been done using Headman Elite Block Headers. Other headers may work, but might require modifications.
Two sets of outer ends are included to match either sized taper found on the steering arms on these cars.
