has any one ever heard of extending the pitman arm to speed up the steering? has any one ever tried doing it?

Yes that's an old trick that mopar used on the AAR Cuda and the Challenger T/A, I know Firm Feel offers that arm over the counter, but it only fits certain steering boxes (sector shaft sizes). You won't be able to cut and weld up a cast stock arm to do it as there is a fair amount of stress on that part (I have broken 2 pitman arms in my life (one was old and the roads were badly potholed, the other I ran smack into a curb while avoiding a reckless driver)

I'm using c-body pitman, idler arms. Getting ready to finish the install on my 65 b-body and collecting the parts for my 66 a-body. I posted pictures of my 70 a-body here http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/sho ... 037&page=2

What's the bump steer like with the unequal length tie rods? A short tie rod end is going to cause toe-in on compression and rebound.

With the stage three firm feel steering box and the c-body arms, the car feels like it has a rack and pinion. I have not noticed any bum steer. The center link length and upgrade to 11/16" tie rods is what caused the lengths to change. I now have a ball joint reamer so I can open up the diameter of the hole on A, B- body center links.
