Find an early remanned Q rack and adapt.......you might need more pump or mods to pump pressure controller?

90-93 is "early".

Try a wrecking yard and rehab it as the rack will need flush, seals, boots, modifications for width differences.

I'm starting to sound like Dennis... :D

$175 remanned probably require you submit an old core for rebuilding or pay another $150.

Be careful as the pinions wear , on center slop develops and this is never rebuilt just scrap the rack with a worn pinion or be prepared for $350 extra in parts.
