From Hotchkis link:

This Product Fits The Following. 1967-1972 A-Body Cars (Dodge Demon Dodge Dart Plymouth Valiant Plymouth Scamp Plymouth Duster Plymouth Barracuda.) Note: Only fits cars using 73-76 Center link and spindles. May not clear some aftermarket headers except Schumacher Tri-Y and 440 (High Deck). 1973-1976 A-Body Cars (Dodge Dart Sport Dodge Dart Plymouth Valiant Plymouth Scamp Plymouth Duster)


So fits Schumacher Tri-Y with 440 (high deck). That’s it.

Everything else that is close takes fabrication on your own. HiPo manifold cars need custom made head-pipes and possibly milling exhaust at angle. Then custom headpipes needs sharp rearward turn. That was done 30 years ago by some brothers in BC 68 Barracuda. Results may very.

Check TTI website if their shorty headers fit..

Won’t fit a 67 because of the one year only idler.

I figured it would fit a low deck too. Can't imagine any reason why it wouldn't.

Tall deck lifts the headers up. And might give just enough clearance for pitman and idler. Where the header turn is where it’s close.

Ahhhh..that makes sense..jeez, I'm thinking to myself, what does the block have to do with the steering?? lol. Thanks for the clarity!

Is the pitman arm for large or small sector steering boxes?

Hotchkis says only fits small sector shaft cars

 

[Mojoe9955]

So according to the Hotchkis info, these will work on 67-72 A body cars with a small sector steering boxes as long as they have been fitted with 73-76 spindles and steering link. A bodies 73-76 use a large sector steering box, so they won't fit these A bodies unless you change to a small sector steering box.
So technically, these will not work on A body cars without significant modifications.
