Flaming River used to sell a pitman arm (and aluminum vega box) but not sure if they sell it separately now or not. Maybe someone else knows what OEM arm will work.

I have the original power steering pitman arm, but the splines are too big for the
vega 140 manual box, also the distance is alittle off. I don't know if a 68-69 pitman arm
has the same smaller splines like the vega box?? kind of hoping someone has done this
conversion in the group. Alittle cheaper than a rack and pinion system..thanks..eric

Luke thanks for the help, will take my measurements and vega box down to
the parts store and see if the nova or camaro manual pitman arm will work.
Sure I'll have more questions in the future, thanks eric
