Power steering gear box

[704spd402]

What do I need to tighten up my steering in my 70 Monte?

There is an adjustment on the gear box if it's not worn out that is. A lot are going with close ratio gear boxes which I will do when the time comes.

Where can I get a close ratio gear box? Is this off of something completely different from a Monte?

There is a thread on here that is not too old. Shouldn’t be hard to find. 
I put a replacement on for a 1988 Monte Carlo SS. I’m pretty sure I needed a new rag joint and adapters to get the lines hooked up.

Found it. https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26494-borgeson-steering-gearbox-install/

I am going to order one- what about the rag joint? Does that stay factory?

Thanks for the info- much appreciated!

As Steve said I'd try this first "There is an adjustment on the gear box if it's not worn out that is. A lot are going with close ratio gear boxes which I will do when the time comes."

On the Borgenson If you already have power steering all you need is the additional coupler

"Special Attention:

Models older than 1977 require BRG-990012 steering coupler. Requires power steering pitman arm. Includes adapters to accept either o-ring or inverted flare fittings. Features 3/4 in.-30 spline input shaft."
