63 Comet pitman arm??

[bmmaurer]

Looked up the part for you. '63 V-8 with Manual Steering used one of two Arms. One with 1" dia. and also a 1 1/8' dia.

You'll need a C3DZ-3590-A, available here (20 in stock)

Here's a few pics of the parts manual.

A 1-1/8" sector box will measure about 1.058 towards the bottom of the splinesd section (just above threaded part where nut goes on) before it starts to taper larger toward top. Is there a metal tag on the steering box (top)?? That would help. You can't see casting numbers or date code installed in car but the tag should have all the info needed.

I will look for the tag a little later today. Thank you again for the help

Huh -you learn something every day! Thx for posting that up Bruce. OP - glad I was wrong & you've got a good path forward!! I didn't know any pre-'65 V8 cars were built with a 1" box.

I have a Lincoln-Continental/Comet/Meteor 1960-1964 Master parts Catalog on PDF.

Awesome Manual

I called the place that listed they had 20 and unfortunately they don't zero in stock. His only option was to send mine off to have it rebuilt. I asked about the cost and he said it would be 201.00 plus shipping both ways.

That Stinks...

I see AutoKrafters does a rebuild service also. Call them. They seem priced about the same.

1 - 800 - 228 - 7346, ask for the rebuild department. They will need yours as a core.

Thank you Bruce

If there was any similarity between the 63 comet and falcon, the 6 cyl falcon had a 1" sector shaft whereas a v8 had a 1 1/8" sector. Comet may have been the same.

I-6 and V-8 use different style arms.

Did not know that. assumed the only diff was the shaft size.
