Disassembly
The first step is to disassemble and remove the stock steering linkage, steering box and column.
1. Disconnect steering shaft from steering box. Raise vehicle and support it on stands. Note be
sure not to put the stand in a location by the stock round cross member.
2. Remove the cotter pins and nuts from outer tie rod ends and remove tie rods from spindles.
Disconnect the center link and idler arm assembly from the frame and remove the entire
steering linkage.
3. Remove bolts retaining the gearbox to the frame and remove the box. If equipped remove the
power steering pump, brackets and lines. All the pieces removed will not be used.
4. You need to modify your stock column slightly. If you have an Early 1967 or 1970 refer to
the appropriate section at the end of the instruction sheet. Remove the steering column and
tube assembly in one piece. Do not remove the steering wheel. Cut off the rag joint assembly
at the end closest to the joint itself. Next install the supplied column tube bearing by sliding it
over the steering shaft and up to the column tube and tap it in with a hammer. Once the
bearing is seated measure from the flat of the bearing down 1-3/4” and cut off the excess
shaft. Next slide on the brass washer and install the supplied U-joint so that the shaft is flush
to the inside of the new joint. Drill and pin the joint in place with the provided bit and roll
pins. That is all that is needed for modification to the column.

5. Once you have this done install the appropriate floor plate provided in your kit using the
hardware provided. Slide the floor plate over the column tube with the clamp and install the
column through the firewall and bolt back in place. Attach the new floor plate with supplied
hardware and complete the installation.
6. From under the car remove the stock round cross member from the frame rail to frame rail.
Install the new power rack and bracket in place using the stock holes where the cross
member was and install new hardware provided. Note: Always check to make sure that your
bracket is clear of the control arms and the lip of the frame around the camber adjusting
bolts. If the bracket rubs or hits anywhere it is necessary to grind a little of the edge of the
rolled lips of the metal on these parts. DO NOT GRIND ON THE SUPPLIED BRACKET.

7. Your rack has been shipped with the pressure and return line ports connected to it. You will
need to install the pressure and return line to the ports and install the rack with them
connected. The lower larger port on the rack is the pressure port and the higher smaller port
is the return. As you are going up into place with the bracket you will need to position the
lines around the motor mounts and header. This may take some time to find the angle you
need but position the lines where you need so that clearance is provided. Your rack and
pinion is also centered before shipping and is marked make sure not to move it off center or
loosen the mounting blocks on the gear itself.
8. Once the rack is in place leave the bolts loose and install the shaft and joint from the rack and
pinion to the steering column. Slide the shaft onto the u-joint on the column and snug the
pinch bolt. Run the shaft down to the pinion, with the pinion joint on the shaft, raise the rack
into place to spline the lower joint to the pinion. NOTE: It is important that you phase the ujoint 90 degrees out or opposite of each other before you install and tighten. Also make sure
that you center your steering wheel before sliding the u-joints together. Torque the u-joint
bolts to 40ft. lbs.
Note: MAKE SURE YOUR RACK AND PINION IS CENTERED AND YOUR STEERING WHEEL
IS RESONABLY STRAIGHT.
