Question On The 66 Corvette Steering Damper Shock/Hdwe.

[Larry E.]

One project that is left to do before judging on my 66 Base Engine Coupe>No Power Steering is to install the above. Couple
of basic questions on the Steering Damper Shock and Hdwe.

1)Would the shock(AFAIK) part #Placell #3178100>GM #22011964(Discontinued) be identical for all C2's?

2)Would all the Hdwe. to install the shock be identical for all C2's or are they any unique features
for the 66 Corvette?

3)Anything I should know when installing the above? I assume no adjustment in the the steering is required?
Correct?

Thanks in advance>Larry

Well, Harry beat me to it with the correct information. There should be no need for any adjustment in your steering...install and drive on.
