For Tom :D

Damnit, Camaro pittman arm doesn't clear the exhaust on the Fbird. Hopefully a Pittman off a 67Bird will make this okay. Stupid GM not making interchangeable parts. :(

2 pics of me on this site, the first with a half pig and the second with a pig of a 350

And its out

:woot: for pics :)

and the '69 Firebird has a different pitman arm than a '69 Camaro does? that's funky

are the exhaust ports on a Pontiac really that different from a SBC?

"goofy" is one of the more tame words we've used to describe each others' pictures

The 350 is a big block in a poncho, but they seem to be further forward. The Pittman is curved. Of course the idler and pretty much everything else is different too, but for some reason a whole kit fits a 67-68 bird and 67-69 camaro so our theory is that we use a pittman off a 67-68 bird which is curved and the rest of the stuff for a camaro and it should be okay. Frank from Prodigy is going to check on the length of the pittman being the same only with an added curve.

The shaft on the steering boxes is also different on the Fbird. Bigger than the Camaro so to test the damn thing we had to put a whole steering system in, luckily a buddy had a 69 camaro parted out and we could borrow it for a while.

Sean, those headers look pretty old, would a more modern design have better clearance for the pitman arm?

What a mess.

I'm fairly certain there's more than one length pitman arm so that's something to keep note of as well. Also, the '67 Camaro has a unique idler arm. And, IIRC, there are different length steering arms as well.

True, but the bolt on kits work across all years excluding the 69 bird. The pittman's are different based on power steering or not....or so I understand, I personally haven't looked but trust Josh as he is rather detailed (accountant by trade)

It really is for the most part. But I keep pushing through.

As I have become more self-aware and more "learned", I become more depressed. This is something I've been struggling with for 3+ years now.

Dunno what I come across as online but it's a different story in real life, particularly when the headphones come off.

But we all have our struggles. Which is an even worse feeling.

I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable.

Not really, though.

Of course, putting a pic of myself up not wearing grease monkey clothes when I haven't showered in the day yet might help a wee bit but what fun is that?

Well I could give myself a handicap by using my cell phone camera and by taking it myspace style. That should even things up eh?
