Steering Linkage Interference

[oliver63]

I got my steering linkage problem fixed. There was two things causing the problem. The pitman arm wasn't going on the steering box far enough making it lower. And I changed from a '63 steering link to a '66. Everything is good now. Thanks to everyone who offered help.

Just wondering if you changed the pitman arm or just tightened it up more ?

I changed it. The first one K6143 I feel like it wasnt machined right...the bore in the pitman arm didn't look like a good smooth machine job. The second one K6131 went on the steering box shaft .250" more.
