Hi,
I have a Volvo C202 (sorry, it's not a B body) pimped up with Mopar power steering. The threads are worn-out inside the box and I would like to change the steering gear. The only problem is, I don't have any clue where is this part came from. Can someone help to identify the year and the model and which cars have been used in?
Numbers on the box:
Q-2948969
R16
1032

Thank you!

The 29xxxxx casting number puts it in the 69-73 time frame... Measure the pitman shaft, it's probably the later design with the 1.25" shaft.... looks like a typical Mopar P/S box, they are interchangeable from 73 till 89.... Better/more photos would help confirm...
 
Try going to google and type in Mopar steering box number application, or usage.
Thank you. I tried my best to find the original car on google, but I found only similar parts. I want to be sure it fits in my modified Volvo.

Thank you. I'm not sure about the pitman. Because the front wheels are under the seats, it needs to be a trick somewhere. I would like to be sure I order the same part (or very similar) which fit in my Volvo. I try to identify what was the donor car, cause I noticed it is easier to find spare parts in this way.

Your hose connections look bigger than normal, kinda hard to be certain from the pictures...

FWIW the return hose fitting appears to point straight up, that's odd... Good news, the odd part can be transferred to the new box easily, two bolts done...

The pressure hose appears normal but may be a different size, again pretty easy to swap the fitting adapter unscrews from the control valve....

You really need to measure the diameter of the pitman shaft between the pitman arm & the steering gear box... It will either be 1.125" or 1.25" The sector shaft splines are all the same, the mounting points are all the same, the differences are gonna be the pitman shaft diameter & the hose connections... Hose connections are easy to deal with, the pitman shaft has to fit....
