power steering to manual steering ??

[abodyjoe]

i want to put manual steering in my 71 dart. i just picked a manual steering colum today from a 71 duster so thats not a problem... my question is the steering box and pitman arm... i got a steering box out of a friends 69 road runner.. will this box work in my dart... i know i have to change the pitman arm . will my power steering pitman arm work with this manual box or do i have to get a manual pitman arm? i seem to remember hearing something about different size splines where the pitman arm goes for different years but don't remember what was what... so i guess my question is what pitman arm do i get and will this box work in my 71 dart???


thanks,
joe

The box will work. I think the pitman will to. The splines didnt change till 74I think.

your saying you think that my power steering pitman arm will work on the manual box?? looking under there the shaft almost looks the same size... but its hard to see(didn't jack it up)... that would make things easy if the shafts are the same size...
