If its a variatronic rack then its different internally and you will also need the variatronic pump too.Judging by that Ebay picture it is a variatronic rack-that long wire is the solenoid for it. Not sure if they will work correctly in your SS as the Statesman's and Calais that had them have different programing in the BCM.
