I have my doubts about this but if it is true it should show up in a parts book as a different number, otherwise how could the factory keep track of which to put in the right car?

The 1969 Chrysler parts book I'm looking at has the 24:1 standard steering gear housing listed as part# 2537 347 for 6 cylinder cars. The 16:1 fast ratio steering gear housing available in the Darts and B-bodies is listed as part# 2537 346.

I think I might just put power steering back on it. Is there a Difference between power steering mounts from big to small block?

Nope. Same 3 bolt arrangement

But is there anything listed showing a difference between V-8s and /6s?

I have never heard of anydifferences except fot the optional 16:1 fast ratio steering.

I just saw in my Hollander that they were different but didn't say what the diff was.

There is nothing listed in the parts book describing or showing in diagrams any differences between the two housings. But if I were to speculate on the difference, I would believe that the difference is that the 16:1 housing is made for the bearing and the 24:1 housing is for the bushing.
