In some parts that my dad and I acquired is this steering box. It looks like a Vega box to me but has four mounting bolts instead of three. I'd like to use it in a gasser project we are working on. Anyone know what it's out of? Will Vega box parts work in this? It feels a little gritty when turning it by hand.
I think it is Camaro/Nova and with the four bolt mounting the Saginaw designation might be 122. I would doubt any Vega components fit, but certainly you could disassemble it and see if the gritty feel is from a bearing(s) or the recirculating balls and/or worm. Might be easier to just get a different box, and I would probably use a Saginaw 525 if it was on my car.
It looks like a S10/S15 box. Similar to the 525 but with 4 ears. Manual box was only available for a few years, possibly 84-86
