[WANTED] Longer pitman arm

[65 CUDA]

Who knows what mopar vehicle that has a longer pitman arm coming off manual gearbox? The 1 I ordered and installed has the straight axle linkage from pitman arm rubbing oil pan when turning wheels to the left slightly on left side of pan only bit clear when turning right

Try loosening motor mount volts. Lift engine and then tighten bolts. Not ideal fix but may work.

The problem is the straight axle steering linkage hits pan when turning left only, that is why I need a longer pitman arm

 

[Professor Fate]

So, you're saying you're running a straight axle?

Yes

Put in vise, heat with O-A torch, bend for the clearance you need. let cool naturally.
Rock on in your gasser

I was nervous about heating and bending a pitman arm but it all worked out well. Campaigned car at bracket races and drove to work for years. Never any problems if your concerned about moparhead's advice.
