Somewhere you must be able to purchase the parts online, but I haven't really looked into that yet. There are so many boxes out there and the price is highly variable from AGR boxes to you name it. I called Autoline and they do not rebuild them. I thought it might be worth a shot to try and keep my box but we will see.

In South Wpg, where there are round abouts, I end up almost punching myself as my hands are moving so quickly trying to steer the beast. I need one of those spinners to mount on the steering wheel too spin the wheel to go around the round about and then exit. Plus, sometimes just driving, the car wanders a bit so a quicker ratio seems to be the trick according to the research I have done.

I don't know, but I bet getting your original box rebuilt (if you can even get a ratio change locally) is going to be close in price to a reman AGR. 

 

But for the lack of one ear, the standard quick AGR box looks pretty close to stock anyway. I suppose you could use the old cap if you wanted that little serial to be the same.

AGR on the left,

I've been happy with mine anyway. Cheers and good luck.

I left my original power box in , and yes its slow, I did upgrade with urethane bushings all the way around, that was the biggest improvement . the energy suspension kit also come in black so it blends in, stabilizer in the back and enjoy.

does that use metric anything or is it still sandard

I took the plunge and ordered a 12.7 ratio box in a Saginaw "6" casted four bolt box that has been rebuilt to 12.7 ( 3 1/8 turn to lock). Fingers crossed that the product ends up being OK but the seller appears to have good rating. While I was looking at my steering box to get a date code, I noticed my upper control arms bushings are worn out very badly. I will try and snap a pic and post but I was surprised how bad they are. The rubber bushing hole where the shaft goes through is now elongated and the rubber is also being squished out the side so there is no doubt that control arm bushings are toast.

So, it will be a good time to address the control arm bushings, the box and upgrade to discs all at the same time. Now, the decision of going to a tubular control arm or just replace the bushings. My wallet is telling me to replace bushings only while I also have a hankering for tubular control arms. BTW, there appears to be quite the number of control arms that appear to be knock off Global West arms being offered by Jegs, or POL (Performance Online) that are significantly reduced in price, like half the price, that seem to be available. Not sure of the quality but the Jegs and POL look identical and POL told me they were knock off GW arms. Also, it looks like you can get an Alden coil over for about $468 US.

I know they look nice and have a whole bunch of adjustment in them , and I was tempted myself but I couldn't justify the cost, sandblasting and urethane seemed to have cured the wagons ills , the front strut rods are usually the worst offenders for wondering and under steer . if the uppers are gone all the bushing are not far behind, and after twenty plus years on my car not a squeak .

rubber quality sucks today, and I hate dewing anything more than once, we converted to cars to urethane , my 65 and a buddies 64, the handling went from mushy scary ,to early nineties Camaro, you could actually steer these things with your throttle. The next step was the brakes and box.
