Re: [AMC-list] Fw: rambler amc steering box conversion eaton to saginaw

Years should be 93-97 or 98. 
I have one here and know it has the correct 3 out of four mounting lugs the 65 Ambassador needs. 
It is missing one from what an American needs leaving 2 out of 4 so not a good fit for the American. 
It will go in the Ambassador. The 73 Hornet box I have in the American is a nice fit at about 3 1/4 turns lock too lock. 
I am so close to actually working on the Ambassador...I hope

I recently changed the steering box in my 81 Concord. The turning diameter was 
pitiful on this car and the box had about 2.5 turns in it. The box hit it's 
limit before the steering arms hit the stops on the strut rods. I took a 3 turn 
box out of an Eagle and knocked 5 feet off the turning circle diameter.
