Re: vega steering box...
Were the original Vega boxes cast iron? That would be the way to go, if you could actually find one... i think i will keep using mine, for now... switching headers, anyway....

Re: vega steering box...
How much hassle is it to fit one to the car? I always thought they were a direct bolt on, except pittman arm....

Re: vega steering box...
They'll bolt to the frame, but the steering shaft is smaller than the std GM ones..It would need to be adapted.
