I replaced the one on my 96 Formula with a solid puck. Steering was more responsive and the vibrations through the steering wheel were minimal.

New shaft looks great. Glad to hear it made a difference for driving enjoyment.

Every time I look at this car, it really makes me want to find one

Thanks Trey, it definitely cleaned up well and the paint turned out really good. Even though I cleaned it up and refinished it while I had it all removed, I plan on switching out the steering shaft for a Borgeson over the winter. :thumbsup:

Did some work on the engine and engine bay. While it’s not an LS motor and I still have the original throttle body injection 305, it’s a solid engine and with everything else I’ve done, it’s a solid cruiser for me to put a grin on my face every time I go for a drive. I just installed an Edelbrock intake to finally compliment the other bolt-ons I’ve done to the engine. I also added an injector pod spacer and did some TBI mods for better airflow. Someday there will eventually be an engine transplant, but in the meantime I work with what I have and have fun tweaking an engine most want nothing to do with. There is some challenge in knowing it’s an oddball and not the norm. [emoji41]

Other than age, the Camaro was completely unmolested when I bought it for $1500 back in 2005…more to come. Next up…stainless steel headers and y-pipe.
