Center link needed
Looking for manual center link to replace ram power steering on my 68.
I believe it should be a 69 or 70 to fit correctly. Pic shows 21 1/2" between tie rod mount holes. Anyone in So Cal? Chris

What is the difference between manual and power centerlinks? Sorry for intruding on the thread...

The Ram assist System (Vette style) has the control valve threaded on to the end off the center link, and the pitman arm ball stud is reversed!

Can't ya just remove the ram part and keep the original center link? I'm not familiar with the ram setup though. Am I missing something?

Thanks I think you guys are on to it.
I'll strip the ram piston off and see how it line up. tmad: I got a ps box out of a 70 and will try your suggestion of bolting to frame. What kind of spacers did you use? Chris

Still looking for center link in Southern Calf. I had a call but was the wrong one.
I need to see it. Also need the shaft coupler (some call it a rag joint) Must be for power steering box a mnual won't fit different diameter shaft.
