are the splines the same on a manual and power steering pitman arm, I think it has a manual drag link and he added power steering but the bevel in the pitman arm is to big for the drag link, dont know if I can just switch the pitman arm, the drag link is new and would just like to change pitman arm, also does anyone have a manual pitman arm to buy or check to see if it will work, Thanks steve

 Splines are diffeernt between manual and power. Center links are the same, so you may have a wrong pitman arm.

What are you working on?? I assumed it was your '67 but does that have power steering ??

The taper on the drag link side is bigger that the pitman arm, I have 3 pitman arms and the taper is big on all three
