Hi Guys, hope someone can send me in the right direction as I cant seem to find any thing locally. I have a 71 Chevelle Malibu that I bracket race, the car was a power steering car and I have installed a manual box on it which fits fine except the pitman arm hole is to large for the center link bolt. The fellow that I got the box from cant remember what it came off of . The Pt # on the arm is 5693761 which I cant cross with my resources, The Box is a Saginaw #5679142. I just wondering if anybody can send me in the right direction for parts or part numbers, the shaft on the box measures 1 1/16" as close as I can measure anyway , If anyone has any Ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I converted my 69 to manual steering, and bought a pitman arm from one of the circle track supply houses. I just Googled "Chevelle pitman arm" and found a guy selling them for $65, way cheaper than the muscle car restoration places like Year One, etc. If you want to go that route holler back and I'll see if I can dig up who I bought it from.
