Title: 1975 tahiti steering
Post by: rutkowski35 on April 27, 2012, 04:27:42 PM

hi again thanks again for the others that helped with rack and pinion, my next question is, is there another way to hook the steering or is the rack and pinion my only option.

next question. The motor is a stock 455 with a eldlebrock manifold and edelbrock carb, what oil weight and what kind should of oil to run that is reliable.

thanks
