New to the board, and looking for some answers to a power steering conversion.

I have a 67 camaro manual rear steer. I have a 73 nove rear steer gear box with pitman arm. I also am installing 69 front disc brakes and steering arms. Questions are:
1. Can I use the gear box with the pitman arm or use the 67 pitman arm.
2. should I use the entire steering linkage for the nova, or the linkage for the 67.
3. Will this work with the 69 steering arms.

Thanks!

Use all the Nova parts.
Check your pitman arm for looseness. Don't use a "Pickle Fork" to remove the pitman arm or idler from the center link, it will tend to damage them. There is a puller that presses on the nut end of the stud that is better. The center links are the same, but the later one is more likely to be a larger diameter and that is the best one to use.

when I changed mine, I rented the puller from Autozone on their loan a tool program. It was free to use.
