Rack & Pinion Seal Kit
Gates® - Rack and Pinion Seal Kit
The parts are correct, but, if you don't need to change the rings on the distributor (the flat rings) don't! The rings actually stretch during installation, and then you will need a special tool to compress them to install it back into its bore. If you have a leaking rack shaft seal as I did, just change all you can, but re-install the distributor as is, or just with a new seal & dust cover. Better instructions, and advise special tools will be needed. Also where can I get the special tool?
