Fits the following:
1964-65 Falcon
1964-65 Ranchero
1964-65 Comet
This Quick Ratio steering gear box is brand-new, not rebuilt-no core required.
This 16:1 ratio box is 3.75 turns lock-to-lock, greatly improving response, performance, and drivability over the original 20:1 ratio box (which is almost 5 turns lock-to-lock); and it features a correct 1-piece 39" input shaft and 1-1/8" sector shaft.

My wife said I can't watch this show anymore 😅
Get that mobile phone out and go to the potty! Set of ear buds and you'll be back in business.
"Sloppy old box" 😆
The jokes just never stop, do they.
this is a great video it up. Building a hardtop K Code 64 Comet (ford version is the thunderbolt) V8 4spd car. my orig is "HCC AN" which This video shows the direct replacement from Auto Krafers!
Oh darnit!! I purchased the mustang box fir the falcon and indeed it's too long. Rats. But thanks for the heads up prior to me installing and finding out the hard way.
Nice upgrade! I really wanted the RRS rack but my budget allowed the new Drake quick ratio manual box (along with the Open Tracker Racing suspension). Just don’t forget to install the new box before the engine goes back in (it was a PITA with the engine in 😉).
Good point we'll hit that in the video where the box and steering go back in.

My box was good so I shortened the shaft 2". Double D sliders can be installed to make it a collapsible column.
If you want a faster ratio you can use the old GT350 trick. Lengthen the pitman arm and idler arm one inch.
👍😎
Steering wheels with less dish or even zero dish are readily available at less than $100.
I agree it needs to be collapsible.
Honestly, the DD's only slow the spear down, they don't stop it.
Powerteeringish !
Yesssshhhh
I have signed the Paul Wall
True Dat.
The spear of death is bad either way. I have the belly too so I can relate
Yes. But these are the cards we are delt.
Hey Jeff, what is the little cotter pin for that goes through the center of the head of the fill plug? My original does not have a hole like these units. A vent of some kind? Why a cotter pin?
If I have the less desirable drag link and tie rod ends on my 64 falcon, what parts do I need to buy to replace them? Thank you
Jeff what book did that chart come from (you said the name but I didn't quite catch it). Thanks!
I found it on the net, but it is probably in the Ford Master Parts Catalog.
Is there a front clip kit I could install on a falcon that would allow me to put a big block in it
RRS-USA.com offers a strut and brake kit and shock tower notching that allows for big blocks. Full discosure, my wife is the US sales rep.
I barely have room behind the wheel of my 65 F100
Get a shorter shaft...Aaaaaannnnd cue the jokes.
@@AutoRestoMod not sure I can, can't even buy replacement shift tube for it. Had to have it welded.
Do they make one for a 66 falcon/ranchero (fairlane and maybe galaxy)?
No way. You have to find a good used box or you have to have your Box rebuilt by a competent company. I recommend Chockstang.
Lots of jokes here, but this is a family channel, so we won’t go there.
Right?! But yeah...
Help! I subscribed my grandmother an now she keep makin dirty comments!
Look at that, we brought her out of her shell.
Plan on removing your engine if you are replacing the steering box, it can't be done with the engine in the car.
Ouch.
I have a 1962 Ford falcon that is converted to a 1984 5.0 motor so will I also have to have my motor taken out to replace my gear box?
I did it without pulling the engine but it would be Much easier and quicker to pull it.
The steering shaft is part of the gearbox and is too long to remove.
