Rack and Pinion - Power 64-67 GTO/Lemans/Tempest

The Rack and Pinion - Power 64-67 GTO/Lemans/Tempest represents a critical steering modernization upgrade for classic Pontiac muscle car enthusiasts and restoration professionals. Originally equipped with manual recirculating-ball steering systems, these first-generation GTO, Lemans, and Tempest models benefit dramatically from a modern power steering conversion that dramatically improves driver control, reduces fatigue on long drives, and enhances overall vehicle handling characteristics. This Unisteer power steering rack and pinion assembly is engineered specifically for 1964–1967 model years, providing a direct bolt-in solution that maintains original appearance while delivering contemporary steering response and reliability.

Built by Unisteer Performance Products—a manufacturer with proven expertise in classic car steering conversions—this rack and pinion assembly integrates a power steering pump interface, high-pressure hose fittings, and precision-machined rack components to eliminate the heavy steering feel of original equipment. The system employs a modern sealed design that reduces internal friction, improves cornering stability, and accommodates modern suspension geometry better than antiquated manual systems. Weighing 49.82 lbs and measuring 52 inches in length, the assembly fits within the original steering column envelope, requiring only basic fabrication work and pump mounting bracket modifications for a clean installation that preserves the car's aesthetic integrity.

This conversion is ideal for owners undertaking a complete restomod project, performing a frame-off restoration with modern amenities, or simply upgrading a driver-quality classic to improve safety and usability. Whether you're a collector seeking improved highway manners or a restoration shop completing a comprehensive build, this Unisteer power steering solution provides proven compatibility with 1964–1967 Pontiac GTO, Lemans, and Tempest platforms. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment, hose routing, and pump integration, with most shops completing the conversion in 8–12 hours depending on existing suspension and engine bay modifications.
