Manual steering box question

[dickdale]

I have a new 16:1 manual steering box in my 70’s Plymouth Satellite and bought it through Rockauto and have driving it about 1000 miles.

I’ve recently bought a Flaming River manual steering box, also 16:1 ratio and was wondering if the Flaming River box is worth to replace the “old” one with.

Anybody how has experience between them?

I gotta ask, is something wrong with the first one?

Nothing. Just want to know if the Flaming River is better with less play.
