Manual Steering box 1st gen Camaro
 

Was wondering if I could get a recommendation on a manual steering box for a first gen camaro , I see flaming river makes one , a light one I think based off a Vega box with a pitman arm , think you have to use a flaming river joint to connect, seems a little pricey when all said and done. Any other suggestions ?
Thx

Borgeson makes a stock replacement box i believe 350 400 $$ on Summitt.

Several years ago I got this from Larry Woodfin
, you have several choices.

* S-10 manual box [with the S-10 box in most cases it is a direct replacement. Input spline & pitman spline same as OE. It will have a four bolt top]

* manual GM box from 70's cars [this is also a direct fit in some cases. GM produced several spline counts so it takes some comparing to find the exact match. This is a three bolt top. This box is about one pound lighter than the S-10 box and overall slightly smaller.

* Vega box [this box is smaller and lighter than both the above, however, it requires a custom/special pitman arm. Ed Quay, Flaming River, and maybe others furnish the special arm.

Of the three, I would look for the 70's box.
