Some of the parts you list are not there on a vette. Rack and pinion type. No fittings that I have seen so far.

I don't think there is an idler or pitman arm, is there? As for the tie rod ends, they have a black rubber bushing under the nut. There is no zerk fitting, as it is not the boot-type that holds grease.
