I am wondering if Ford made different length pitman arms. I am working on a speedster, and have run into a problem with the length of the pitman arm that is on car now.

Re: Pitman arm
Yes they did,and they may have made some with other differences other than length or part number. For instance because of a 26-27 chassis having a lower stance than previous models, the pitman arm was slightly different.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
