I just discovered that the teeth (5) on my '67 Quick Steering Sector Pitman  
Shaft are corroded.  That explains the slight roughness I could feel when  
hand turning the shaft.
Question:  is this QS shaft the same as the standard ratio  shaft?  In 
looking at the exploded view of the box, it seems that the only  parts which would 
make it "quick steering" would be that shaft and maybe the  Wormshaft.  I am 
going to need another Pitman Shaft or I will have to dress  these teeth down 
smoother.  Any of you guys have one?  It has a large  "7J" stamped on the end of 
the teeth area.
