steering gear question
Hello,
I have a 1967 couple with power steering and a long shaft steering gear, which I want to get rid of. I am thinking getting a used gear off of a 1968 which will bolt up, but not sure about the pitman arm.
1) Are all 1 1/8" pitman arms the same size and angle from 67 to 70?
2) Are all the 68 and newer steering gears 16 to 1, manual or p/s?
Thanks

All the mid-67 to 70 Mustang have the 1 1/8" diameter sector shaft, and all use one of two different pitman arms - one for manual steering, one for power steering.

The same years boxes with the 19:1 ratio (5 turns), is used on manual steering cars. The 16:1 ratio boxes (4 turns) were used on all power steering cars and certain manual steering cars with special GT or handling packages.
