Pitman arm question for '65 Satellite...
Hi guys. Working on the front suspension of my '65 Satellite... Recently ordered the PST rebuild kit and this included pitman (or is it idler?) arm is different than what came off the car. It could technically be installed still, but would cause steering geometry problems and interfere with headers.
Check out pic below. New arm is on top. Does anyone recognize the slight difference? Could it possibly be a 66 and up piece accidentally included in the kit? (Says '62-70 on the box). Is there a difference in small block/big block pitman arms? (car has 383 & 727 but not sure if original) Is power steering version possibly different? (car has manual steering)
Any help would be appreciated before I go to the manufacturer to see about swapping the part out. Thanks.
