IIRC its the same except the pitman arm. Will the 73 arm bolt up to this box? Also, will the PS lines be metric? I have the early saginaw pump (oval neck) and thought about robbing the brackets and later pump off a mid 80s 5th ave if it were a metric box. Or will the metric lines and fitting on the back of the pump interchange from the later pumps? I plan on adding washers to de-pressurize the pump in the process. Can this be done with the early saginaw pumps? Any help appreciated. - MoPar Jamie 1972 Fury III 4dr 1986 D-150 LWB Royal SE

Re-Check the Mopar Action Richard Ehrenberg article though. Last edited by autoxcuda; 11/12/12 04:16 AM.
