I have a S10 box and am planning to use it on a '69 Camaro. I haven't pulled the pitman arm yet but was concerned that the master spline on the box might prevent the arm from simply being turned 180 degrees. From what I've just read here this should not be a problem, right? Is a different rag joint needed to connect to the steering shaft?

Jeff , On most that I've seen, there four spots on the (output) shaft that are blank , or missing one spline. They correspond with the four spots on the arm that are not broached out .They are equidistant , so yes you can flip the arm around.
I have never used an S 10 box, but I would bet the steering shaft could be adapted using factory parts..It's the Vega that has the smaller shaft.
