[AMC-list] 81 Concord steering

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

My sedan seems to have a rather wider than normal turning radius. The steering
box seems to hit its limits before the steering stops hit the strut rods at the
wheels. It seems to be a quick ratio box with 2.5 turns lock to lock. I'm
tempted to swap in a slower box if it will let me sharpen up the turns. There's
a 77 AMX a a local wreckers with a 3.5-turns-to-the-steering-stops one that
could be a donor. 

Opinions?
