I went through the PS conversion thing and found a "Second Generation" pittman arm on E-bay. Had to bid $76 bux to clench it. Had heard about these other ones and pounced when the bidding was just closing. I had the part number but I seem to have lost it. I guess I could crawl under the car and read the casting number which is the part number -1. It mounted right up. No machining. Got a "Lares" quick ratio steering box from Year One back then for $220 and it is nice. The tougher stuff was the upper pump bracket with the headers and all. Did some fabrication there... I'll dig up the number... Hope you find one!
