I have a rebuilt aluminum manual steering box for my 67 Coronet. What type of fluid do I put in the box? Thanks.

Rick Eberg recommended using some high temp wheel bearing grease melted & mixed in with iirc 85-90 gear oil. I dont remember the exact proportions( I have it copied some where) but it might be online at Mopar Action if a person wanted to check it out.

You're almost as bad as I am. When I went to the dealer to get the grease Eberg mentioned they gave me a tube of 4318046 & said that was the superseded # but it was the same stuff. My next manual box I'm going to use his concoction.

I wonder why the factory recommended this procedure?
Because that's the EASY way to fill it and it cost less labor wise , which is why the big 3 didn't go bankrupt via the nasty UAW back in the late 60's
