Vega's are front steer but the steering box is mounted so far forward the pitman arm comes out to the rear... So logic sez viewed from the top the shaft rotates counterclockwise when the wheel is turned to the right....
Chevy Veda?
Not mine ,just sold my 31' Model a one week ago after 15 years of ownership. This is how you will see them on most early car builds. Right side of pic is the front of the car just to be clear. It's easier to see the rotation when you see the box indexed to the frame. The cross steer design helps a lot with bump steer, better then the more traditional F1 box.
My bad!!Chevy Veda?
If that view is the inside of the Left frame rail, which I think it has to be, it looks like a rear steer to me.@Dan64 was the steering connected to the spindles in front of the spines or behind the spindles?
A buddy of mine came over one day with a early Vega with a stock 350 in it. It was fun! He still had the stock rear end in it and said they were so cheap that he wasn't going to bother to upgrade the rear......I just laughed because I knew what could happen if one locked up and said "I'm ready to get out now" lolI remember a 283 Vega back in the late 70’s... it terrorized big block Chevelles.
If it had a C clip axle rear like most GM cars... not much fun when it “exits”.A buddy of mine came over one day with a early Vega with a stock 350 in it. It was fun!

Neat bit wont hold up.Please don't hate on me for asking.....project 16B in the works.
I will treat all replies in strict confidence...so as not embarrass anyone.
Specifically wanting to see which way and how the steering box/gear rotates the output shaft ....for research purposes of a new project.
Any help appreciated.
Image of box I have in mind....

They work if you do the frames poped 2 windshilds out and flex fan ate the radiator with that build. But the neat thing was the variable ratio steering.My stock Vega rear lasted about an hour, after the 327 swap. Put the 8 3/4 in long before the nitrous system.
