1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Started with the steering gear tonight. The nut for the pitman arm was tightened well!!!!!! Now I just need tiĆ³ find the puller to get it off. What I have found out is that the assembly plant painted the whole unit after the pitman arm was mounted. Paint on the arm is evidence for that procedure! Any other input in this matter? Also found the paint level on the return pipe on the steerning gear. Might have been a cap on it to protect from getting paint into it!

The cleaning of the valve cover fins is done. I might need one or two new ones. Two of them is excellent but the other two.....! I found some good evidece of paint on the sides of the fins.
