84 z28Ho steering box

My 84 camaro Z28HO steering wheel turns lock to lock 2 1/2 times. Is this a quick Ratio stereo box and if so what's the Ratio?

Yes. That's the steering box I put in my Firebird. I don't know the ratio...

I've read that there is a 'sport' higher ratio steering box with 2 1/2 turns lock to lock and is stamped on the front but mine I can't read or see any stampings
any one know wht box i might have or can i run the casting numbers to find out ?

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)
