The power steering is so easy that I would like to make it stiffer so I could feel the road a little more. Is there a way to do this? I am open for suggestions.

Is it really the gearbox or could it be a pressure issue.

Borgeson sells a kit that was about $17 that had washers to adjust the pressure developed by the pump. This is the company that sell the steering u joints pumps and other items. I did this for my Ford street rod using a chevy pump and a MustangII power rack that had no feel Ed ke6bnl
