I have a 70 Nova SS 396 which I understand uses the same front clip and suspension as the 69 Camaro. Problem is I need a new Pitman Arm and have been told that there are two available for that year. Carquest shows one for a 350 High Performance and another listed for "all others"
I called Autozone and they show two also, but list them one as 5.25" from stud center to spline center and one as 5.75"
I called Year One and Classic Muscle and they show only one size.
Does anyone know which one to get and where ?
Again, its a 70 Nova 396 with power steering.
Thanks to all

Doesn't really matter what size engine you have. The longer pitman arm is for fast ratio steering box but both arms will fit spline as long as they're both power steering pitman arms.

Use the long one if you want faster steering.
