T-Type Steering Gear - Close Ratio?

I bought a Steering Gear Box this week of Ebay (I know - don't shoot me!). The guy claims it came from a '87 Regal T-Type and that it is a close ratio unit identical to the ones in the GN's.

Of course, the next day I get the new Car Craft and they discuss swapping these boxes into '60s A-body cars - exactly what I am doing! They listed codes to look for, but of course this box was "detailed" (read - painted) and I can't see the code to verify what it is.

So, my questions are - did the GN and the T-Type share the same steering box by default, are they close ratio, and does anyone know if it is the same gear as in the Monte Carlo SS?

Thanks for any info,
Joe M.
 
except for some differences in trim, a T Type and a GN are identical- and i think the Monte SS also used most of the same chassis components.
