Hi all,
Perhaps this is in the incorrect section of the forum,
I have a rack and pinion steering box part number 0060750418.
Does anyone know which model alfa this box fits. ::)

A quick google search suggests it's from a 33. But what series, I don't know.

You did better than me shiny. Best I could do was confirm its a fiat part number for a steering box. Eper is playing silly buggers at the mo.

As far as i know, [and thats not much], the Alfasud and 33 had the same steering racks, with the same ratio's, as the 33 didn't get much heavier than the Sud, it was about 3 1/2 turns lock to lock, the power steering that came out on the 16 valve was 2 1/4 turns lock to lock, Colin.

Eper finally started working again. I can confirm, as shiny found, it's for a 33 which was then replaced by steering box 60744061 in 1987.  8)
The part number is found with the W7 33 ED 88 (1988-1990) model.

As far as i know, power steering wasn't available here until the series 3 Alfa 33 in 1990, in the 16valve, however, it was available overseas on the series 2 Alfa 33 between 1987 - 1990, according to some steering parts i needed a few years ago, and was chasing up, Colin.
