I have a power steering box that needs to be rebuilt need some information rebuild or go with a Borgenson or someone else. Thanks
 
There are several options for rebuilds. Steer & Gear and Firm Feel are 2 companies that have good reputations and come up often. They can do stock rebuilds or tune them up for a firmer and more direct feel. I think rebuilds are in the $400 range and usually have a bit of a wait, I think I waited 2-3 mos when I had mine done.

Borgeson makes a good unit. I have one in the car but don't have it fully put back together, so no personal experience beyond saying they are smaller and weigh quite a bit less than the OE.
 
The Borgeson box is pretty good. Its just one piece of my overall suspension upgrades but the steering is very responsive without the floatiness and overpowered feel of the factory unit.
 
added PS to my Bee ,I used Borgeson and it was very easy.

Thanks for the information
 
Is there a length difference power vs manual steering shaft 63-64 Plymouth? Thanks!

Power steering box takes a shorter column than manual because of bulk of the box. Column adapters are available to convert to manual box and still use the original power column. To go the other way, converting manual to power usually entails changing the column to a shorter power column.
 
What I did with my '67 R/T, was put in a newer firmer feeling power box out of an '80's Dippy cop car. The pitman shaft is bigger on newer boxes than our old stuff, but other than that, the newer boxes are a bolt in. To hook up the steering, you have to use the bigger spline pitman arm from '70's Cordoba, Charger, Magnum. Early power boxes have a larger fluid return line than newer boxes, but fitting on power box can be interchanged as required.
