While I was installing a new steering column (mine had more problems than just tilt), I decided to upgrade the connection between the column and the box. What I got looks like a modified Cherokee shaft, and it bolts right in. Bought from this seller on e-Bay.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191926577090

In my case, the job wasn't quite straight-forward as I broke one of my hard brake lines while moving it out of the way, it cracked right t the fitting. It was the passenger line which goes under the motor and above the K-member. Since I had to replace that one, my as well do both so ordered from Inline tube (www.inlinetube.com). They come pre-bent with metric fittings on both ends. My application doesn't have metric on the master cylinder end so I flared the fittings from my old lines on them and so fr they do not leak.

My new shaft as it appeared out of the box


And installed

I should do that upgrade. Did you notice any difference? I have a brand new rag joint already, so not sure if it'll be an improvement worth spending money on.

It may be the same sensation as the "butt dyno" but it seems like there is better response. There is though more feedback from the road to the wheel.

That looks nice! I will have to keep my eye out for one of those when I do the manual s-10 box swap this winter!
