1971 CUDA-E Body

I am new to the Forum, I am trying to convert from manual steering (24:1) to a (16:1) power steering system. I have spoken with Firm Feel Steering, WA state regarding their rebuilt units. My problem is I need a used E body, P/S box that will interchange with my 1971 Cuda--they will not accept my manual box as the core. Any suggestions on where I can locate an original E body P/S box that will fit this year model?

Many Thanks,
LeRoy Pettyjohn

Leroy,
Check with the guys over at Wildcat Auto Wrecking and see if they have a core they could send you... Good luck on the project... Hope you get it done and enjoy it for this upcoming summer !!!

HI Leroy, You still out there? I prefer manual steering. I'm building a 70 Barracuda and it has a power steering box that needs a rebuild. I would be willing to trade if the manual box you have doesn't have any problems. Tom

Tom, is the P/S box you currently have an OEM or aftermarket part? Would you be willing to include the P/S pump and it's brackets? Many thanks LeRoy

Tom, I am finally back in Memphis from working all last week in Mobile and have time to devote to the issue regarding P/S box. Let me know if you are still interested in making the exchange? A phone number would work best so we can discuss details. Many thanks, LeRoy Pettyjohn, Memphis

Oh Oh, sorry but I sold the box when I didn't see a reply. Then I bought a manual box.

My fault if I did not reply in time, still trying to get use to how to communicate on this MOPAR forum.
