Need Help with Challenger TA Power Steering Box Questions
« on: September 18, 2013 - 11:26:49 AM »
Guys,

I am looking for a correct power steering box for my 70 TA Challenger. It is one of the few parts on my car that is not correct/ matching.
Does anyone have a picture of the correct unit?
Is there more than 1 correct power steering box for the 70 TA? I was told there was a power steering box and also a fast ratio power steering box for these cars...?
On my build sheet in the box for power steering, there is a "7".

If you bought the car I think you bought from LMC, then it was NEVER equipped with Fast Ratio steering from the factory.

 That is the correct box for that car code S77. Fast Ratio is code S74. :2cents:

Hi Alan,
In Mauro's inspection he noted the steering box as being incorrect? The broadcast sheet states standard power steering  S77.
Maybe he was looking for "TA" stamped on the box? I am guessing only the TA fast ratio steering (S74) has "TA" stamped on the side...? thoughts?

Yes, Maruo most likely assumed that the car was coded for a T/A box.

cool. That is good news. Is there any part number or such that I can look at to confirm it is the right box? I just want to be certain.

Like Alan said, you could get from the factory both power steering and fast ratio power steering on T/A's.  If you have a "7" in the power steering box you did not have a fast ratio.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

2267 262 should be cast into the non-T/A power steering box.

 So the T/A box what made it fast ratio, I thought it was just the arms?  What's the differences between the 2?
