Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ok, another question for ya. This is on my own car, I was thinking of swapping the factory manual steering box to the PST 16:1 box. I do not have the factory steering wheel and if memory serves me right its only a 15" wheel. Do you guys think the 16:1 box would be a real pain in the *** at slower speeds, such as parking?

Do you work out?
Even then, especially with wider tires, is a a lot of work parallel parking.
A 16:1 manual box, regarless of whom you buy it from, is a 16:1 box.

16:1 is helpful for autocross slaloms.
20:1 is fine for road course.
24:1 is probably what you have so you know whether you want more turning realtive to steering wheel movement.

I should be back to the garage in a few days, but I don't think the factroy wheel is much more than 15".
Just fit in the trunk standing when placed near the hinge.

If you're car came with a v-8, then it has the steering box with lower bearing. That's a better deal than the /6 boxes with the lower bushing.
