>By horrible steering you mean the old power steering setup, or its harder to steer, or what?

Yes, the old power steering system. It's literally the only part of the car I haven't modified. 4" of play in the steering is just a little less than responsive!

On the other hand, it has lasted 280K miles with only a little upkeep!

By little upkeep do you mean a pan under the car when its parked? winking smiley I swapped for a 16:1 flaming river box in 2005 and its worlds better than the old in terms of slop (less than 1/2 inch if even). I've put about 10,000 miles on it. If I do the Borgeson swap sometime this year it'll be my gift to you. My good ol' bendix setup is currently leaking out of....somewhere a tiny bit. I have yet to put it up and look to find out where.
