I have a tricked out 1961 vette that is so hard to steer when starting from a stand still. The steering wheel is smaller than stock and it has wide tires on 17" rims. I have heard that a rack and pinion conversion kit is available for a 1961, but cannot find it on the internet. Am i dreaming or is it available?

I believe you are talking about
theirs seem to be for or 63 - 82 vettes
Ya I know...but I don't know of any other R&P steering for vettes....
You might try calling these vendors...
I searched for a while, trying to help him, but only with same negetive results for a 61.
Maybe I'm missing something on this. I think the objective was to make it easier to steer the car with a small steering wheel and wide boots on the front wheels.
How about a power boosted recirc-ball unit from an early Caddie (one without Saginaw's variable ratio worm) and a change in pitman and idler for more mechanical advantage.
