Pitman Arm Replacement for Power Steering Conversion
1965 GMC 1/2 Ton - doing conversion from manual steering to power steering. Have Captain fab flange kit, Thanks John - the Series 800 variable ratio steering sector with pitman arm from a 1970's - early 80's - (the flange fitting hose early model) Chevrolet pick-up. When any of you did this conversion did you have problems with the center of the drag link rubbing the under engine truck frame? Looks to me the arm that came with the Series 800 PS sector has to much of a bend downward - the length is very close to the 1965 manual pitman length so that's OK. Do I need to get a straighter pitman arm to raise the drag link - does the idler arm need to be changed to match the different arm? I have did this once but didn't have the interference problem. I'm thinking this time I have a different pitman arm on the sector. Any "help" would be greatly appreciated. If you have any Part#'s that would be GREAT! THANK YOU!
