The Late 80s early 90s Olds & other GM Rack & Pinion designs were less than desirable. They had a tendency to "fail" by locking in a hard right or hard left. The Remanufactured units had this design flaw corrected. If the original "OEM" factory units were were ever redesigned, I am unaware of it.
My expectation is that a Remanufactured (NOT a rebuilt unit) Rack & Pinion might solve your disappointments with your conversion. A properly designed & installed Rack & Pinion far exceeds a manual sector with the Studebaker power assist & bell crank tower system.
