Description
Tired of wrestling with your 1962-1967 Chevy Nova's steering? Our Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) Kit is here to revolutionize your driving experience. Exclusively for floor shift models, this kit brings modern ease and precision to your classic ride, making parking a breeze and highway cruising a pleasure.
Why Upgrade to Electric Power Steering?
Swapping to electric power steering provides multiple advantages over traditional hydraulic systems, making it the ultimate upgrade for your Nova:
No Pump, No Fluid, No Leaks: Say goodbye to messy hydraulic fluid, leaky hoses, and bulky pumps. EPAS simplifies your engine bay, eliminates common failure points, and keeps your garage floor clean.
Reduced Engine Drag: Unlike hydraulic systems that constantly draw power from your engine, our electric system only activates when needed. This means you regain horsepower that would otherwise be lost to a hydraulic pump, translating to better performance and efficiency.
Dynamic Assist When You Need It: The system smartly activates only when you're turning, providing significant power assistance at low speeds (think parking or tight turns) and a firmer, more connected feel at higher speeds. This gives you the best of both worlds – effortless control when you need it most, and enhanced road feedback for spirited driving.
Fully Adjustable Feel: An integrated adjustable potentiometer gives you complete control over your steering. Dial in maximum assist for comfortable daily driving, or reduce it for a more performance-oriented feel on the track.
Reliable & Maintenance-Free: Electric systems are designed for durability, requiring virtually no maintenance and proving less prone to wear than their hydraulic counterparts. That means more time enjoying your Nova and less time in the garage.
What's in the Box?
You'll get everything you need for a smooth transformation:
A powerful 60 amp electric motor unit that does the heavy lifting.
All the necessary mounting hardware for a secure installation.
A prewired control module to simplify the setup.
How It Works: Effortless Control at Your Fingertips
Our EPAS system is smart. It senses how much effort you're putting into the steering wheel and then, with the help of the electric motor, amplifies that effort. But here's the best part: an adjustable knob lets you customize the level of assistance. Want maximum help for tight parking spots? Dial it up! Prefer a firmer feel on the highway? Dial it down! The system is only active when you're actually turning, making it super efficient.
Important Details & Compatibility:
THIS KIT WILL NOT WORK WITH A OE COLUMN SHIFT STEERING COLUMN - FLOOR SHIFT ONLY.
Low Power Draw: It sips power, only drawing a minimal 9 amps.
Installation Time: Plan for about 10 hours of installation, and yes, some cutting is involved.
Rack or Steering Box: This versatile kit works with either a steering rack or your original steering box.
Got a Steering Rack? Listen Up! If your Nova has a steering rack, please contact EPAS Performance before ordering. We'll need to know the size of the shaft that runs from your rack to the firewall to make sure the kit fits perfectly.
Linkages Not Included: Keep in mind that any extra linkages you might need to connect to a steering rack aren't part of this kit and will need to be purchased separately.
What's NOT Included: Your steering wheel and column aren't part of this package.
