You probably saw my swap of a Pinto rack & pinion into my '78 Monza last year. Well I didn't like it so I sold it. I'm in the middle of finishing up the swap of a different rack into the Monza. This rack is from a '73 Datsun 240Z. The price was right ($20.00) This rack is almost perfect for the Monza chassis. The inner tie rods are right at the point where the lower control arms bolt on. The outer tie rods are factory bent and they line up with the tie rod mount on the spindle. It looks like there will be zero bump steer with this rack. The bonus and the reason I went through all this is the Z rack is 3.0 turns lock to lock instead of the Pinto's 4.25 turns. I'll have pics and a parts list soon.
Thanks,
Bill
