Pitman arms

[tyoneal]

Hello:

Can someone tell me the length of the Pitmant arm for a first generation Camaro?

I put a blueprinted steering box in my Buick Riviera that was suppose to fit a First Gen Camaro. I know the box is suppose to fit the application, but I screwed something up. I think I got the Pitman arms confused when I put it in. I'm trying to confirm the length of each one so I can make sure I have the right on on the car.

The turning radius has increased substantially. I'm guessing it is the length of the Pitman arm that I put on it.

I checked the Buick site and am waiting for a reply.

Also, if I'm barking up the wrong tree, please correct my thinking, I would also like to learn a lesson about this.

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal

Perfect Information and terrific link. Now if I could just get me a place to buy another Pitman arm for a 1965 Buick Riviera, I seem to have misplaced mine.:innocent:

when I had mine the best place to look was Ebay.

more chances of finding it with the steering box.
