Advice on Steering Racks..

[Geneman]

Hello Peeps. can some of you rack gurus eyeball these parts PLEASE and tell me if my interpretation is correct. see photos

The ZF rack, I think, is one that i bought quite awhile ago and had installed in my G-body 88 for awhile ( till it burned in my garage.. ugh). I bought it as a " short geared" rack from Red Dog Motorsports here on Pelican. and it seems that its about 2-1/4 turns lock to lock when i turn it on the bench.

The rack in my car now ( see the pic and serial numbers) i think is stock for my 77 tubed race car. lock to lock (tested while in the car) is at least 3 turns.

Is that consistent with a stock OEM 77 rack?

Will this ZF rack fit in place in the 77 tub, pretty. much plug and play?

Thanks very much for looking. FRank.

It fit your 88 so it will fit the 77.Standard rack is 3.1 turns lock to lock.There is another 911 rack I like to use which is 2.8 turns.Ciao Fred
