My friend is offering me his stock PS gearbox from a 68 camaro. What do i need to swap it with my stock manual gearbox on my 68 bird? Aside from the power steering pump, is there anything else I need to change? How about the pitman arm?

thanks

The power steering pitman arm and idler arm are different to the best of my knowledge. My 2 PS arms from Firebirds, were also different than a CAmaro. my arms were kind of a "C" shape and shorter overall length.

Hope this helps.

The only thing you have to change is the pitman arm. Maybe the rag joint if its tore up

Some parts to check to make sure they are the same:
idler arm (if the pitman is different, the idler is probably different too)
drag link may be larger diameter on ps setup
steering arms are probably different

You only have to change to the C shaped pitman arm if using the 1967-68-69 center dump exhaust. After that, the exhaust went to the rear and you can then use the straight pitman arm. Just as with headers, you can use the straight arm.
