Default 1972 Nova Rack and Pinion Steering??

Hey Guys, im trying to do some homework to find out if anybody knows of a company/companies that make Rack and Pinion Steering Kits for a 1968-72 Nova. I doesn't matter if they are power or manual and although I would prefer to keep the frame modification to a minimum i dont mind if the kit requires modification (if they make on that doesnt require any, thats great too). Thanks in advance for any info./help.
-Brian

Brian,


First of all the car looks great and thanks Nate for the heads up. We make a rack and pinion kit that bolts-on to stock 67-69 Camaro & 68-74 Nova's. It is one of our most popular kits for good reason. You can get it in black or chrome, manual or power for small or big blocks.

Take a look at our site for more info and you can download the instruction sheets from the site as well.

www.unisteer.com

We are offering Lateral-G members a 10% Discount with FREE SHIPPING for a limited time. Please use code LATG-10 at checkout.

Sup Bro!

Well that kind of blows!

So there's no way to notch the frame or something to get it up or would it not be worth it?
