1977 Amc Gremlin
Power Steering Gear Box

Thank you for your inquiry. The steering box for an 1982 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight is not interchangeable with a 1979 Chevrolet Impala.

This gearbox has a 30 spline 3/4" shaft and has a ratio of 2.4 - 2.8 LTL (9.6:1 - 11.2:1).

Did your Camaro leave the factory with power or manual steering, and are you looking to convert? We can check to see what we have available.

Yes, this gearbox (82-00068 QR) fits all 1977-1979 Caprice

This gearbox (82-00068 QR) is a quick ratio replacement that'll bolt in just like OEM, but has a quicker steering ratio for faster steering response; 2.5 turns lock-to-lock, rather than 3.5 for the stock gearbox.

Our brand new and remanufactured gearboxes both fit and perform identically. We offer both options for some more popular applications because some customers prefer a remanufactured OEM gearbox, but others may not have the original gearbox anymore and like that the new aftermarket gearbox does not require a core deposit or return.

That being said, we do not actually have a brand new gearbox for a 1977-1979 Firebird listed on our website at the moment. Our two options for your vehicle are:

Remanufactured OEM with the same steering ratio as new, about 3.5 turns lock-to-lock: https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow/82-00068_R

Remanufactured OEM, with modified internal gears to give you a quicker steering ratio (2.5 LTL) for faster steering response: https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow/82-00068_QR

By standard steering, do you mean non-power, or standard-ratio power steering? This gearbox (82-00068 QR) fits all 1977-1979 El Camino with factory power steering, and a housing cover held on by 4 bolts. There's also a version of this box that's kept closed with snap rings; this will not fit as a replacement for that model.

This gearbox is only tested and verified to fit models with factory power steering. You'll need to do some research to see what's required to add power steering to a manual steering car, but you will at minimum require a pump, both power steering lines, and most likely the linkage from a power steering car as well.

Thank you for your inquiry. The gearbox are not the same casting. But if you can match port the mounting holes on the bracket. This might fit. We do have a 30 days easy returns with a top class customer service if ever you need this to be rreturn or replace it. We can also get your old gearbox and rebuild it. You can send me an email [email protected] or call me at 858-703-8126. 

Thank you for your inquiry.
