Pitman arm problem

[64 Dart]

I'm swapping out the steering box on my 64 dart. They are both power steering units. The old box is Part # M2127008 and the "new" one is #G3643012. My problem is the shaft for the old pitman arm is 1.125 and the new box is 1.250. Is there an interchangable arm I can bolt onto the 1.250 shaft and still be able to hook it up to my stock center link?

Does anybody have any ideas??

You are going to have to get a smaller diameter box.

I don't know if the 64 pitman arm is the same part number as a 69 A-body pitman.

The 67-72 A-body pitman swaps with a 73-76 A-body pitman BUT you have to run the 73-76 centerlink and idler arm that mounts from the top.

For a 64-66 A-body there is NO centerlink or idler arm that will allow you to use the 73-76 pitman that connects to the centerlink from the top.

So for a 66 down A-body you are stuck wit the 1.125 small spine steering box.

All early A bodies had the smaller sector shaft. Later pitman arms will not fit. Sorry, but you're looking for another box.

Thanks for the replies. I'm getting a new/rebuilt box tomorrow. Take care.

I have a good used box just north of Toledo if you are interested.
