It's about 45°F right now. The picture of the steering gear boxes and torsion bars was taken at Firm Feel's shop.

And by the way- you've got it EASY. Try getting a power-steering box out of a big-block B-body with HiPo exhaust manifolds dang near wrapped around it... That's an operation that will let you exercise ALL the cusswords in your vocabulary. Trust me, I know whereof I speak :twisted: About the only thing worse would be a big-block A-body, and in that case you'd have to pull the manifold.

Just trying to cheer ya up a bit... :lol:
Or you could try a right hand drive spec '62 Valiant - box mounts to the chassis rail tucked way down the 'tight' side of the slant, not a lot of room to get in there to do anything! Even the pipes for the remote filter get in the way (Australian slants used a remote filter since the steering box sits where the oil filter is meant to be!)
My knuckles started bleeding just thinking about that.... :?
