Hey guys..

I'm looking for a pitman arm for my 70 gtx...big block (440) with power steering.

It looks like Moog doesn't have them, my parts guys say it doesn't show in their books. I'm a little surprised as I was able to get all new Moog parts for the front end, other than this.
I was wondering if any of you have any experience finding these and if they're a good fit. Mine is pretty well mashed and it's the only front end part that I need, to rebuild my front end.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I bought one for my 68 off Summit Racing site. Fit was fine - all is good. I've noticed with Moog that sometimes when you go to a local parts store their book says they don't have it. You give them a part number and they can order it from Moog - cause they do have it.

If you're going to replace the pitman arm, why not go a little further and replace both the pitman arm and idler arm with a fast ratio set-up. This is what the AAR Cuda's and T/A Challengers used. But not if you have headers... These are from PST.

Thanks guys...

I'll check into the summitt site as I can't seem to find a Moog part number anywhere.

Photon....that would be an option other than the header issue...I'll need the stock fit.

Had headers on my 71 340 and the pitman cleared fine. Most don't know that all 340 powered E cars in 71 also came with the fast ratio setup. 2.5 turns lock to lock!

Interesting was that for 71 only?
