20:1 in c-body and a smaller steering wheel. no problem. had the "normal" coupler in before and switched to a flaming river coupler. steering was much easier after. the flaming river coupler was a BIG improvement!
Interesting that the change from a coupler to the flaming river universal joint actually made the steering effort significantly easier.
I guess it was to a non optimized steering geometry. sometimes (with the old couplers) the insulator felt off and the alignment never looked 100% straight. i think it went better because the flaming river one uses a universal joint that compensates this miss alignment. last weekend we had the biggest car meeting in north germany and i tried the super bee from a friend. 24:1 with the original steering wheel and the normal coupler. it was as heavy as mine to steer. big surprise for him.
