Hello,

I have a last-minute question about the Lovejoy shocks: I know they were hydraulic, but I realized I don't know what type, other than NOT tube.

Help?

Thanks,

Actually Delco/Lovejoy would be more accurate

We're also wondering about this:

STEERING
Type..............................Worm-and sector
Ratio..............................12.0:1
Turning circle....................20 feet (right)

That turning circle seems awfully tight. Chevgene, you emailed me "Turning radius + right 20", left 20 1/2"." Is this right?
