I believe Flaming River builds & sells steering box's , Vega style - you might want to try contacting them. I know they used to sell parts through Jegs and could be another outlet to try. Hope that helps. Have a Good Day. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |

Speedway has two styles. A straight and a bent one. Not sure if they work for A body

Greg... Contact Rare Parts Steering and Suspension in Stockton, CA. They will "steer" you in the right direction. MB

Is the shaft for the pitman arm smaller than the hole in the pitman arm? I used an S10 box on my 85 F body and pitman arm worked. You might need an arm from a manual steering Chevelle.

UPDATE: B/SA Bob Moran "modified" a new "Straight" Vega Pitman Arm, and a "used" pitman arm from a Monza to make it fit.
Furthermore the upper "DD" Joint that was sugested to purchase was the wrong size! fortunately for us, Milt @"Westgate Performance" in Freetown MA. had what we needed "IN STOCK" in order to complete the installation........ |

Sounds like a huge PITA to lose a few pounds.
