does this car have the good steering box?

it's a 91 z28, i can't remember the suspension rpo but it was the middle one, not soft but not the stiffest. the box is still in the car and i don't see a Z or X or anything stamped on it. where do I look? would this be the quick ratio box since it came from a car that had 16" wheels stock?

The Z is not a dependable sign that its a quick ratio box as the stock unit I pulled off my bird had the Z but was not the WS6 box. The only real way to tell is by counting the revolutions of the output shaft when the pitman arm is turned lock to lock.
