Whoa..... did I ever start a hornet's nest here....
Well now I am more confused, and will definitely be doing more research. Thank you everyone for the advice/knowledge so far, looks like I have my research cut out for me.
BTW, my budget isn't $600, I was merely stating that I saw a pump and system that went for that much.

The Borgeson box gets rid of the clunky power steering assist ram and uses hydraulic power to assist the box itself. The downside to this option is that you'd have to replace half of your current steering system with manual steering components. Not as cheap an option as it initially sounds.
Also, I thnk GMs used this non-ram type of box, including older Corvettes.

It's an improvement, yes, but my point was that it costs more to convert a p/s car because you then have to replace the power steering linkage. It's a good option on a m/s car because you can use the stock linkage.

IF SO, I stand corrected. Saginaw comes to mind for GMs.
So if I had a 64-82 Corvette, I'd convert it also rather than hang on to the nostalgia of it all.
This is the 3rd millenia after all.
Are you nostalgists still using points also?
Time marches on with or without you.
