I am going to install a 605 power steering unit to my 56 Chevy car. Can anyone give me any tips and tricks to doing this?
 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fellas.

I did one of those conversions about 4 years ago in a 57.
I don't remember anything that would make it difficult. I think there is a conversion end for the draglink that is only needed if the car was originally equipped with PS. The kit we used came from mc gauphys. Had a long sector shaft 605 box and a fabricated mount that used the original holes IIRC. I do remember that the lower column mount/ floor trim plate wouldn't fit. Not sure if that was a mcgauphys part also or what. hope this helps, mikey

605 power stering
Classic Chevy had an article in its magazine on how to install. You might be able to visit their site and query for the article. If not let me know and I'll search thru my collection of past magazine.

Do you have the 605 box yet? CPP (Classic Performance Parts) has a new "500" box that is said to be better and a direct replacement for the 605 box. I have the 605 box and I'm not crazy about it and thinking of upgrading to the new 500 box.

Visit the Danchuk web site. They have some tech articles on installing some of their products and 605 steering box is covered.
update: just went to the Danchuk web site and cannot find the article, they must have pulled it for some reason. Vince Last edited by 302/Z28; 06-21-2006 at 05:20 AM.
