Quick Ratio vs Standard Pitman and Idler Arms

I’m pretty sure Quick ratio arms are aftermarket not factory. Yes the factory, if offered, would have a different worm and sector in the steering box to make a quick ratio option.

If you added a longer arm to a already quick ratio box I can imagine what the final effective ratio would be and also how very hard and stiff the steering would be…
they weren't factory for our cars, but for E-bodies they were.

yeah, 16:1 manual box with the QR arms on the street is not anybody's idea of a good time.
