OK, so I was in a rush to get my wifes 64 Valiant swapped over to LBP disks. redid upper and lower BJ, upper a arm bushings, and all the brake stuff.I felt the lower bushings were tight enough to get me through for now....so I could move a 63 Valiant I had sold. Well, the shop wouldnt aline the front end.....said ideler,lower bushings and pitman needed to be replaced....crap! so no allignment was done. I have new tierod ends, bushings,strut rod bushings, and idler arm.....but cant seem to locate a PITMAN arm for a manual steering 64. Anyone have a sourse? Looked at Rockauto, nothing......never bought from them before, so search might be my fault.LOL
Thanks.....Andrew/Kidd

Pitman arms are the same for all '62-'66 A-body (Dart, Valiant, Barracuda) regardless of manual or power steering, V8 or \6 engine, etc. They are no longer so easy to get hold of. Try Old Car Parts Northwest?

Rock Auto lists pitman arms for '65 & '66, but not for '64 & earlier. Perhaps a mis-listing on their part?
