1969 satellite with power steer. Ive had several pitman arms sent from several vendors. All show up with too small a diameter spline area, obviously for manual steer. Where are you guys finding new pitmans for power steer cars?

Or possibly you have a newer steering box. Spline sizes got bigger in early 70' s, I'm thinking 72 or 73.

Can you measure the spline sizes?

The A,B,E-bodies power steering boxes all got the larger sector shafts in 1973 and later. So they all took the larger diameter pitman arms.
