Kind of stumped on this one.. Built my own mounts and used a manual Mustang II rack from Speedway thinking it would work out. The rack is only 3 turns lock to lock and with stock steering arms it comes nowhere near close to turning far enough.
What manual rack do i need that has enough travel?

Sorry, but you will never make a rack and pinion work better than the stock linkage with a good box in that application. It can't be done.

Ended up putting a Red Head box in it... I dont know what I was thinking trying to reinvent the wheel....
