Find one at your local salvage yard or try Ebay.

Im pretty sure any year from 70 to 81 will fit. If not 74-81 will fit.

Not all will be a quick-ratio box, though. The NastyZ28 site probably has info on what cars have the good units. Might contact AGR in the DFW area. They quoted me under $200 for a rebuilt GM box with high-effort valving & quick gears, but that was probably 5 years ago. The hose fittings were changed in '76 or so, but older boxes will still bolt up, and hoses can be adapted.

Believe it or not, your local CarQuest or O'Reilly's or NAPA should be able to fix you up with no problems.

The quick ratio steering box you want is found on late 70's--early 80's TRANS AM's with WS6 handling packages, probably not easy to find and not cheap unless the seller does not know what they have... but I owned a 79 new and I can tell you, if you have a car with high top end speed they are TO quick and VERY touchy at high speeds...also i have a quick ratio factory box in a "buick riveria gran sport" and it is also very ?Positive? but it works well under cruising conditions...

A 3rd gen box for a WS6 16” wheel Trans Am is a good bet. Better ratio. Should bolt right in. Lines may be different – 3rd gen has o-ringed lines. But IIRC 78 up had that too. If not, have a new line made. Rag joint changed in 76 or 77 , so you are good there.

WWW.nastyz28.com will have more info (did I mention I am an admin there )

Or I could tell you where to spend big $$$, like the AGR or ATS box.
