Intended for select compatible Chevrolet, AMC, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick applications. Exact vehicle year and model must be confirmed before ordering. Verify the steering-box mounting bolt pattern. Confirm the input shaft diameter and spline count. Confirm the sector shaft / pitman arm spline size. Verify pitman arm compatibility. Steering coupler or rag-joint style must match the input shaft. Power steering hose fitting style may vary between early SAE flare and later metric/O-ring designs. Some vehicles may require adapter fittings for the pressure and return hoses. Confirm the steering ratio and total turns lock-to-lock if those specifications are important to your build. Do not assume compatibility with manual steering systems without the required power-steering conversion components. Aftermarket columns, steering shafts, headers, and suspension modifications may affect installation. A different pitman arm may be required depending on the original steering box and linkage. Wheel alignment and steering-center verification are recommended after installation.
