Pittman Arm
« on: May 06, 2010, 10:19:00 AM »
66 C-Code Conv. Stock Steering.

Does the Pittman Arm mount onto the splined shaft, pointed straight ahead with the steering wheel centered?
Common sense would say yes.  I don't think the shop manual says?

I don't have it off right now but I was getting my ducks in a row for an alignment.  If it is keyed as you implied... 
Then I can assume it's installed correctly.
If not I need to remove it and reinstall it.

Thanks,
Bryan

Yes the splines are different in part of the shaft and arm to help with orientation

Of course the arm will go on upside down also ;)
