Flaming River now makes a new direct bolt-in steering system for your early Nova to eliminate the long shaft and sloppy, worn-out steering box. This new box design mounts with a convenient chassis bracket and features a quick steering ratio of only 3.5 turns lock-to-lock compared to the original 6 turns. This allows for an overall improved steering response. Since the early Nova used a slave cylinder, this same manual box can be used with either the power or manual system. We've included virtually everything you need for a clean, simple installation right down to the u-joints and steering column!
