Does anyone know if it is worth the extra money investing in a close ratio manual box compared to the factory box??? I can not go with power steering and nobody makes a rack for the a-body's yet Thanks for taking the time for me

Your choices range from the most ridiculous 5.75 turns lock to lock, to an almost reasonable 3.5 turns lock to lock. What did ma mopar have against normal steering ratios anyway???
