ok,how does the switch get a signal, does the plunger under the presure switch move back and forth in the casting? were in the part number located on the block? each of my blocks seem to have different sized holes in the brass seat inserts? so did drum and disc cars have the same block?? and i do have the block on the frame rail going to the rear brakes.. thanks for the reply..troy

do you have a casting number for the steering arm i can look for on these box's? that would save me a lot of screwing around. thanks

i have the power steering pump, but the box is what is messing me up. does the z28 also have a different idler arm? i was confused what a pitman arm was. i undestand now that it is the arm on the steering box i thought it was the the other arm, known to me now as the idler arm. is the box a close ratio, what is lock to lock turning rate? let me know your thoughts
