It still uses the Torsion bars, and a rack and pinion steering is not a bolt-on deal. Michael Last edited by MichaelF; 01/24/20 01:15 PM.

Does anyone make one like that anymore?

Went to his house one time to see what his stuff looked like before I bought an AJE. What a hack........ Unfortunately for me, the AJE stuff was just as big a piece of junk.

Though it does move the steering back some as now a lot of it fouls the headers but i believe it does improve bump steer. This is the only pic I have.

RHD '68 Barracuda Fastback 323ci street/strip. Best ET 13.88 @ 99.03
