I’m finishing up the restoration on my 69 340 4spd barracuda but am having some unexpected clearance issues with the steering linkage and starter.
I replaced all the standard wear components (idler arm, Pittman arm, tie rod ends) (yes I know the pins are not in them yet, mostly). I am seeing the Pittman arm hit the starter (see photo). Is it possible that there is another Pittman and idler arm that are longer, did I buy the wrong ones?
is it possible that the engine is setting too low in the cradle?
Any ideas on what I might have done wrong?
Also, inner tie rod scraping against torsion bar
