Power steering conversions

My next project is a new steering system.

Is anybody here running or have experience with the Wild Horses Quick Ratio Steering-Deluxe kit? (picture about half way down linked page)

It looks similar to Duff's, too.

Just thought I'd ask opinions before dropping 12 bones on it.

What's up with the recent GM ads on a Ford site. I know green is green, but....

It seems to be the same steering box that most all of the Bronco shops are offering. It is a Delphi built box.

I installed one of them from Tom's but I didn't have much time driving it. It is a very quick box (even faster than the 3.5 Bronco box). The advantage of spending the extra money is that you are getting a brand new box so you don't have to worry about sloppy rebuilds.

I agree about the "new parts" ideology.
I'm so sick of spending days looking for used JUNK at premium prices.
Most everything is included with the kit too.

I'll bet a quick box in a short wheelbase vehicle could be squirelly at highway speeds.

It isn't too bad as long as you don't have a really small steering wheel.
I used a Lincoln box on mine years ago that was 2.5 turn. Put a 15" wheel on it and it made a huge difference in how responsive it was.
