Borgsen Pitman arm question
I got me a new Borgsen Power steering unit Kit for my 327 x 365 hp (L76) manual steering Coupe. Should have correct accessories per motor.
First question is....it does not appear that the manual steering Pitman Arm I have will work. Do I need to get a Power Steering Pitman Arm? It has more bend to it and has to be a closer fit.
Does anyone possibly have one they would like to swap for a Manual Pitman Arm?
I also know I have to remove the idler pulley and replace water pump with short pump, BUT I'm also going to be installing Vintage Air. So....will all this 'STUFF' fit on my motor?
Is there a pulley BELT setup that would satisfy this entire requirement?
Asking because I'm trying to not reinvent the wheel. Been doing too much of that already.
Thanks In Advance,
RK

My manual steering pitman arm fit. That said I had to FIGHT to get it drawn up to a point where I had thread showing at the end of the nut. I marked it with a grease pencil and it hasn't moved.
