It looks like I will be ordering their stage 3 with the larger shaft tommorrow. I can't afford their fast ratio pitman arm but that's ok. I can get a Moog pitman arm for $50. Thanks for all the replies.!!
With that large sector box doesnt the pitman arm they recommend not work with some brands of headers? I will be ordering a box from them soon but I dont think I will get a large sector because I have Hooker ceramic coat 1 7/8 COMP Headers.....can anybody confirm this? I have a 70 Charger RT with 4speed also.

The "quick ratio" pitman arm which is avaliable in large shaft & small shaft is what causes the interference..There is a standard pitman arm in the large spline as well...

When I talked to Firm Feel today, they said they also sell a standard large pitman arm. The quick ratio arm is the one that interferes.

Do yourself a favor and buy the correct pitman arm from Firm Feel, I did and it was reasonably priced as I recall. The way NAPA page looks to me, based on the different part number prefixes, there are a few different brand named arms for the same application. Arms look the same to me, photo angles are reversed. 73' b-body large sector standard ratio pitman on my 72'

Firm Feel wants $99 for the standard large pitman arm. I have a buddy that owns an auto supply business and he can get me a Moog one.
