My question is what modification has to be done to the connecting rod to allow install of the pitman arm? With 4" spacers, it's close but not without stress.

I don't recall any modification was needed (remembering from over 50 years ago!). It changes the angle a little, but still functions the same.

4 in. spacer may need a longer pitman arm. I have seen 2 in. and 6 in. I-beam spacers. The 2 in. worked fine with stock steering linkage. The 6 in. crossmember was definately too low. The easiest thing to do is get a longer pitman arm to lower rear of linkage, correct the angles and prevent any binding. 4 in. is borderline a longer pitman arm might do the trick.
