5. Once you have this done install the appropriate floor plate provided in your kit using the hardware
provided. Slide the floor plate over the column tube with the clamp and install the column through the
firewall and bolt back in place. Attach the new floor plate with supplied hardware and complete the
installation using the factory dash mount.
6. Before installing the rack you must first install the headers if not done already. Whether your headers
are installed or not at this time you must also wrap the area the rack boot will be near with heat
in
sulation on the driver’s side. There are two lengths of wrap provided. Use the longer length for the
bottom set of tubes.
7. Your rack and pinion is centered before shipping and is marked. Make sure not to move it off center
or loosen the mounting blocks on the gear itself. You will need to slide the entire rack assembly in the
car from the passenger side to the driver’s side. This allows you to go in-between the driver’s side
header. Line the mounting holes up on each side of the rack with the original steering box and idler
arm holes on the frame. Then install hardware loosely to hold the rack in place.
The lower driver’s
side mounting bolt will need the washer cut straight on one side. Copy the factory washer for this cut.
