Default 72 Malibu PS Pitman arm

When my son was racing his High School Malibu 350 he thought it would be cool 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.

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

LOL....
