I went from a std steer'in box, in my 66dart wagon, to a powersteer'in box from a 71 dart!!...Only issues I had was clearance with the manifold, and it probablly wuz contributed to have'in a 69 340 manifold in a 66...I had to do sum grinding, but it all worked out...

Yes, it will fit, all Mopar power steering boxes were the same externally. You will either need to score a power column or shorten the manual column. Post 72 boxes may have a larger sector shaft which will be incompatible with your current pitman arm.

Why would you want to do this?

Not to hi-jack the thread but why is it that flaming river states their manual box is for

Manual Steering Box for Mopar 66-82 A,B,C,E Bodies

All New Design Quick Ratio 16:1 Direct Bolt in!


wouldn't these fit the early a's too? I called and talked to flaming river but the tech department could not give me a solid reason why they don't work. just, " It would have problems" The expert was notin that day......

You are right, they are all the same and should fit the 63-65. Only diff in the idler and pitman arms. But these are always year specific.
