I know you’re sourcing original parts but for $300USD CSRP sell a 65/66 spec geometry “high strength alloy steel” big bearing spindle set.
Im using them on my 64 Falcon track car and I ain’t broke them yet! 8)

Thanks Joe. I am kinda. I might end up buying one of those full sets. Either way it's probably overkill for what I'm doing which is just mild upgrades for street.

Finally got my shipment from OpentrackRacing.

I didn't know the pitman arm ( rod end ) was tapered.
Best way to learn is to have these things in your hand.

At least it took the guesswork out of which way the pitman sits.
