72 Malibu PS Pitman arm
 
When my son was racing his High School Malibu 350 he thought it would be cool :thumbsdown: to take the power steering off and convert to a manual box. Now that he is 40 ish he is finding it hard to park.
Soooo, I have been collecting what I need to go back to PS, all that is left to get is the pitman arm.
Any idea on what casting # I should be lookin' for ? Are the repop ones OK to use ?

Thanks Mike

All 1968-1972 Chevelles,be they SB or BB,equipped with power steering used the same exact pitman arm.
Look for part # 5679209,but 5679208 is actually cast into it.
I just happened to take mine off this winter.

Forgot to add,#5679207 is for a manual steering,but casted #5679206 for 1968-72 Chevelles SB & BB,so stay away from that one for your '72 power steering application.

Yep, and there is one on ebay now. Rick, I am seeing some with 5679209 casting #. What is that one for ?

Mike, just tell Aaron to start doing some dumbell curls to increase his arm strength to turn that steering wheel... Easier fix...

LOL....
