Borgesian makes a good box at a decent price - I have one in my 69 bird: https://www.borgeson.com/Power-Steering-Boxes/

that's a significant price increase. the Lee boxes are over 1k. it looks like the Ames boxes are Borgerson. the cheaper one at Ames is 10 times cheaper than Lee. I might just be saving for it though

When a company says "This all new power steering box has a quick ratio with firm modern steering feel" What is modern steering feel ? That statement says nothing unless it is further evaluated ! "It's the torsion bar, not the gear ratio that provides 'modern' steering feel." That quote from this thread: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...hlight=valving Additional info: https://leepowersteering.com/pages/s...feel-explained Personally years ago I bought an AGR box with 12:1 ratio and upgraded from the standard 210 valving to a firmer 220 valving. Absolutely outstanding out on the open road with the firmer valving. The upgraded valving provides a firm road feel, like what you might find in a modern sporty car like a BMW, etc, yet for my needs it's adequate for around town and related parking. ( you will note in conversations some do not like a AGR box. Personally I've experienced no issues over the years with mine ) .
