    Which arm is the "pitman" arm?
    Sorry, this is one part of the car that I never really delt with...
    I can send a pic of my 72 manual steering, or compare with the power steering on my 75.

    I am changing the center link also, it is coming from auto part store rebuilt, the pitman arm is attached to the gear box, mine came from a salvage yard and I hope it is right. thanks

    Gent; I'll get a pic this afternoon. My car has manual steering, so it will be easy. I'll post on this thread. Later,

    Earl

    turns out the pitman arm from the salvage yard is exactly like the one I already have. back to the drawing board. are there any other vehicle that the manual pitman arm will work?

    Just for future reference...what year is that off of and what is the part number on the pitman arm?

    Thanks

    Craig, It's off a 72. All I can see on the arm is 3590-A, and I'm not sure about the 3 and the 5. It's really hard to make out.

    Thanks,
    Dan
