Would this, fit that year?
Hi guys!
I got a buddy with a 1982 Iron Duke, who's steering box needs replacing, I went to pep boys and thier computers come up with the same steering box as a 1990-92 (actually 1982-1992) I took a look at the PEP BOYS reman gear box and it looks like my 91's RS. I was wondering if there would be any incompatibility if I install this reman gear box into the 1982, should it fit in correctly and work correctly? the 1982's gear box looks a bit different but the design may have changed in the early 90s? Any help would be great thanks
The Steering ratio of the PEP BOYS reman gear box is 3.5 bolt housing cover std steering

Here's some general info as an FYI (I'd like to give credit, but I don't recall where I found the info):
• “WS” – 1982-1992 Camaro – 12.7:1 ratio (just like your Z/28, this may be the box that you Z originally had.
• “XH” – 1985-1992 Camaro – 12.7:1 ratio (this box was also installed on Z/28’s and other high performance Camaros; it has slightly more steering effort required than the WS box.) NOTE – I believe this box was used on cars originally equipped with 16” wheels
• “WN” – 1982-1985 Camaro – 14.1 ratio
• “WP” – 1982-1985 Camaro – 13:1-15:1 variable ratio (used in Berlinettas, least steering effort required of all third gen. Camaro steering boxes)
• “JL” – 1986-1992 Camaro – 14.1 ratio (base Camaro steering box)
