I have a set that came with my unisteer componets that I'm not using and willing to part with.

unless you want to find shorter arms to tighten up the steering, just use your stock arms.
the arms that kjrchevy has are designed for the rack and pinion swap, and probably wouldn't be a good thing to use with the stock steering setup..
which brings up the question of why they weren't used by him...

That's the problem, I dont have any right now! They were gone when I got the car(it was a project car)

Go to a Boneyard or a Pic-A-Part and look at the '68 thru '74 NOVA cars b/c they are the same as our '67/'68/'69's.

PS., "NOVA" = Chevy Nova, Olds Omega, Pontiac Ventura and Buick Apollo cars, hence the acronym "NOVA"!!

I reason I didn't use the arms is because the spindles I used are of a one piece design, so I couldn't use them. The arms are nice quality and powder coated black.

like pdq said- hit the boneyard and find a set on a 68-74 Nova or clone. take a tape measure, and measure from the rear mounting bolt out to the tie rod. get the shortest set you find for the tightest steering.

kjr-
how did your bumpsteer come out, since you didn't use the arms that were specifically designed to work with that rack setup?
