Hi coleman,
Welcome to TOC,

If so, that would have included the quicker (lower) ratio included in the FE3 option, as opposed to the standard setup.

........ I know the Pontiac 6000STE has a quick ratio box ........
Also an option. Same car, same parts.
Quote:
........ What does that mean ........
Quicker ratio means there will be less turns of the steering wheel for a given movement of the steered wheels. Tradeoff is, there is less leverage and, it will be harder to steer.
Both flavors are available from your local auto parts supplier.
Regards, Norm
