On a manual steering car I think they had a 16:1 manual steering box. Easy check is it'd be a little over 3 turns lock to lock whereas the std 24:1 is a little over 5 turns.

Want to know if it's a Formula S? On the fender tag of a 65 Barracuda, look for the 'ABC'.... under the AB will be a '31' for the 273 4bbl 235hp engine. Under the C will be a '2' for the formula "S" package. The car should also have a tach in the dash....

Fast ratio manual was an option, not standard.

Fender tag only, but I don't know the code. Only the Formula S got the factory tach in 1965.
My '65 Valiant (bought new by me) had factory tach, F.R.M.S., manual discs, blue streaks, etc.
