Default Re: 'steering box'

Its not the weight of the car, or the skinny tires. its the ratio of the engineering. Ever notice the model A with 11 to 1 will not self center after a turn, you turn it back or wind up in the ditch. Your 33 may have a 13 to 1 box in it. It was sometime in the 33-34 model 40 era that it was improved to the 15 to 1 ratio, not sure when the change occurred, ...David G ? Even that was a good improvement, not quite as much as the later 17 to 1 with a rolling sector, but still better. The hot ticket today is a 37 hudson box , 17 to 1 with a rolling sector, bolts in with your sector housing, but try to find one
