Yep, I upgraded my '72 to the fast-ratio offered by Power Steering Svcs.
I can't say enough positive things about the whole experience. Relatively cheap, easy, professional folks, and boy does it work!
My '72 probably had a faster ratio than your car anyway, but I went from 3.5+ turns lock-to-lock to just less than 3 turns. Much nicer feel out on the road. Much less of that big barge feeling. I didn't have to replace my pump, hoses or anything. I did replace my hoses due to age, but fit-wise, I wouldn't have had to.
You can send your box to be upgraded, or you can buy a ready-to-go box outright and get a core refund when you ship yours back. I went this latter route because I wasn't concerned about #'s matching. They also have two levels of finish - basic grey or concours-correct plating. Again, I went with the basic finish on my daily driver.
Good luck. E-mail me if you need any other details.
