I drove my 67 charger project for the first time tonight. 6.4 crate motor, Holly terminator x max system, holley 12.3 digital dash, borgeson stearing box, vintage air, 727 with gear vendors, 4.10 gears.....
I only went a half mile down the road and back, but man....I'm still smiling!
The fast ratio box is probably a Borgeson unit. Bergman auto craft is your best source if you want to go this route. They are a vender on this site. The ratio is a theoretical number for the amount of turns of the steering shaft for one turn of the pitman arm. A 16 to 1 would be four turns of...
Sorry for late getting back. 302D/480L. 30 over L2315 pistons. 452 heads. Hope to have it running in spring. LOL did same interior. Painted, engine bay, trunk & interior. Last things once running, newer top & paint...
The Borgeson is a simpler and better way to go. Contact Peter Bergman at Bergman Auto Craft. He sells a complete kit that requires no modifications to work. He is a sponsor of this site. I've done 2 installations of these steering boxes ( that were bought from BAC) in these cars....
Both...
Nice. Welcome from the central coast of Cal. If you decide to go Borgeson, get it from Peter at BAC. One of our sponsors here and you'll get EVERYTHING you need for the swap. Unlike many other sellers.
Post-installation and drive report - success! No issues. Drives great and I'm very happy.
So after Kern Dog installed the latest generation Borgeson steering box in his '70 Charger and gave it the thumbs up, I bought one for my '68 Satellite. Since KD had just installed his and had some free...
...lower control arms will get dropped off for some powder coat. Rear springs are on the way from Kansas. Need to rustle up the sway bars and Borgeson box/pump, front suspension/steering stuff from the gent in NY. Already have the 1.06 t-bars, Bilstein shocks, FF upper control arms[ was going to...
Actually, there are no directions included in the kit. The directions are sent via a PDF or some other form. I never got a paper copy of instructions nor did another FBBO member that I did a Borgeson swap for last year.
...has been the "banding straps" like pictured on Firm Feels set walking off of the stack. Hotchkis appears to use the heavy duty straps that are pinned to the stack. Surprisingly Hotchkis is cheaper and come with hangers and hardware.
Springs, Borgeson gearbox and universal joint are all ordered.
Theoretically a 71 Roadrunner with a firm feel/Borgeson 14:1 steering box, boxed lowers tubular uppers and poly bushings with bigger torsion bars and big sway bars front & rear vs a new M3? which owuld handle better?
It won't help much.. but i installed mine in november and finally drove it yesterday.. 40 minute drive and zero noise or issues and i love how it drives now. only complaint for me is the pump gets VERY hot.. 180 on a 65 degree day, will be adding a cooler for sure.
It’s the worm gear adjustment. When the steering box gets really old, you can tighten this locked screw a tiny bit. You’ll know when you have 100% new idler arm, pitman arm, inner/outer tie rod ends, good alignment…..and you STILL have slop in the steering wheel. Years in the future, when this...
I tried the "pump it down" article for the saginaw pump. The shim idea that richard ehrenberg put out. I had bought a new saginaw pump, new borgeson gearbox, cooler, the upgraded linkage, etc. All of that have been working just fine, but still feel like the over powered factory gear box. No...
When you received your new steering box, did you get the needed fittings for the lines? If not, thats another reason to contact Peter.
