So, I have an 68' 3 SPD column shifter, OHC . I've been doing tons of research and I'm getting confused. Inside of NPD catalog they sell 68' 6CLY w/fast ratio PITMAN ARM, (1) with grease fitting and one without..WHY the 2 versions ? I haven't read any tech articles taking about a pitman arm with or without a grease fitting, what-so-ever. Next I'm told that it doesn't matter that the Gearbox is a 3-Bolt or 4 bolt, but I should get a 3-bolt like my original manual gearbox? But, again with no real reason why? And then someone tell me that it doesn't matter if its 4 or 3 bolt? And LASTLY....I'm told I can get the whole setup....and a rag joint to match the gear box 3/4" shaft instead of the smaller 13/16'' shaft, but I should be concerned what is connected behind the firewall on the steering column???? Which is a "First time" I've heard that. And get Inverted flare tips or SAE?...does it matter or make it easier?
Things I'm sure of: supposedly get a an Saginaw 86-89" Monte Carlo gear box? 3-3.25 turns lock to lock. / 12:7:1 Ratio. Get a pitman arm for my OHC engine. Get a rebuilt or new pump. Use a High pressure PS hose and regular return line is fine.
I know that there are better set-ups than others, Thank you for any help you can provide.
