This kit is designed for 1962-
1967 Chevy II’s and Novas, but the following provisions
apply:
BEFORE STARTING YOUR CAR MUST MEET THESE PROVISIONS:
- Small Block Chevy Motor Only.
- Equipped with Hedman Chevy II Headers or Custom Headers
- Stock Front Suspension
- Stock Spindles or aftermarket spindles with detachable steering arms
- Floor shift transmission
- Rear Sump Oil Pan & Pickup
Furthermore, when installing this Rack & Pinion kit, you will need to acquire a new steering
shaft. Unisteer can supply a shaft kit; due to variation in the column there are three kits
available. If you wish to do your own shafting, typically 3 U-joints and a support bearing are
required, the pinion size on the rack is GM 17mm DD. Also an aftermarket column may be
used with this kit or the original column must be modified; instructions on this
modification are included.
Disassembly
In order to perform this installation the front end of the car must be off the ground. A lift works
best, but jack stands will work.
Removing Factory Steering Linkage:
1. Remove wheels so you’re down to bare spindle. There is no need to disconnect the caliper.
2. Remove the two bolts holding each of the factory steering arms. Pull the steering arms with
the steering linkage still attached away from the spindle.
3. Remove the pitman arm from the steering box; a puller will be needed,
4. Remove the two bolts holding the idler arm, The entire steering linkage should now be free to
be removed from the car.
