Looking for pictures of a 1969 big block steering assembly

[OldSoul_02]

Hi, I’m looking for pictures of the undercarriage steering assembly on a 383/440 A body. The “ace” mechanic I bought my barracuda from messed with the steering and I could use some reference photos. Specifically I need to see how the gearbox pitman arm, center link, and idler arm go together. Some of the steering components are running into and denting the exhaust manifold.

I wish I had better pictures, but I can take more, or you can come by and look at the car yourself in Rockford, IL...

Great! Thank you. I wish my oil pan looked that un-dented, I should probably get a new one when I have the budget.

Lol, the hard right turn scrapes the bottom of the 402 pan a touch.

FWIW, I believe the 893 is the better fitting pan for steering linkage as the notch is further rearward compared to the Hemi pan........
