Variable Rate steering?

[mach1000]

Can anyone tell from these pics if this is a variable rate box? I can't recall how to tell.

Thanks

Here's a tip:

I had my steering box rebuilt by "RedHead Gears". They install precision roller needle-bearings where there were none from the factory, and tighten up the whole affair remarkably.

I also had a custom ratio put in mine.

My 79 Z28 has an incredibly quick steering ratio, makes the car an absolute blast to drive. The stock mach 1 steering box is dreadfully slow in comparison. Seems like you are always turning the wheel!

I had the Mustang box rebuilt with the ratio that the Camaro has and wow!...what an amzing difference!

It makes the Mustang far more pleasurable to drive, I recommend it.

Sounds good. My brother has factory variable rate in his 71 Mach and it is 100 times better than my 71 with non variable rate.

The Borgeson Saganaw steering boxes have SPA identifiers. I believe the "T" box is the variable ratio but i am not positive and cannot see clearly from the pics. A quick call to Lee Manufacturing folks shold shed some light on which unit you have.

Wow! That mustangtek site is amazing. I wish I found it sooner! Thanks!

Just looking through the manuals they have online I'm overwhelmed!.. Like Christmas morning!
