I made purchases for my deuce tudor project from different company's. They claim "in stock" & now I am waiting for parts on back order. Had I ordered from Speedway I am confident my order would have been filled. Speedway has become my "go to" from here on.

I don't know if others feel the way I do, but I would always pay more for quality products! This Vega box is far superior over cheap foreign knock-offs I've bought in the past. This is a quality product, made in the USA, and the quality shows right away.

Been running a worn vega steering box in a 39 chev coupe. Thinking of trying to mount a unisteer rack pn# 910-32245,-32343,or -32340 for tighter steering. A Moroso 7 1/2 quart , deep oil pan may limit the space needed for the cross arm of the rack. Can you tell me aproximately how much space is between the center of the mount and the rear of the arm on the unisteer racks. Also, do you think a unisteer rack would be an improvement over a new vega box? Thanks

Proper Adjustment Is there any adjustment needed on the screws on the top of the box? Or are they set at the proper setting? There is a little bit of slop in the steering wheel and I want to get rid of that.
