Correct me if i am wrong...but the g body steering box you have is the better of the g body boxes??? I have seen that the ones that have the 4 bolts holding on the cap are more desirable.

I might reach out and ask then, i have the same one on my 87 cutlass....i have heard several times its called the "800" series which has a higher turn ratio. I know the late monte ss cars had em.

Here's a better shot.

Gentlemen, the 800 series boxes came in various cars. They are the better/ stronger unit between the 605 and 800 series boxes. However, not all 800 series boxes are quick ratio boxes. Cars generally equipped with F41 suspension...Buick GN T-Type cars, Monte Carlo SS, Olds 442, H/O, IROC, Z28, and GTA F-body cars all were equipped with the closer ratio box. Standard Cutlass', Monte Carlo , Malibus, El Caminos, and Pontiacs were probably equipped with the standard ratio box unless ordered with the F41 suspension package.
