Yes, and plenty of members of FBBO. I’m getting ready to install it in my Charger since I installed it in my friends car.

One of the most worthwhile upgrades out there.

I had one on my 72 and loved it. If I remember correctly, I think you will also need a bergman coupler as well if you don't wan't to cut the steering shaft. To me, it was worth the extra to go that route. I originally had firm feel rebuild my original for but it leaked out of the box and they would not honor the warrany because it was over a year before I had it installed on the project.

I've had one in my Charger for 10 years. They are spendy but what isn't these days?

Thanks everyone. I was looking at the kit with the pump hoses and coupler. I was initially going to get the firm feel, but this looks way better.

The kit comes with the coupler. Does that mean I don’t have to cut the steering shaft?

If you buy the kit from BAC, you don't need to cut the shaft.

What he said plus Peter supplies you with the needed fittings.

I am not sure if the 73 is different than the 72 though but here is a link to the one I purchased back in 2020. This took all of the guess work out and was plug and play.

FYI, there are more options to look into. Lares has new gearboxes 11033 & 11043. 11043 is a firm feel 2.5 turns lock to lock. You'll have to buy the pressure fitting to go with it, part# 177. Rock Auto has them for $398 & $467.

Thats what I put in my wagon recently. Direct bolt in, clears oe exhaust. However...if you have headers, which I do, you have to do some thumping. For my 67 w/440 and Hedmans, #3 & #5 had to get thumped some.
