This listing came about from a discussion on quick ratio T/A and AAR pitman arms. Steering with a genuine T/A arm is 12.7:1; 2.xx? turns lock to lock. Stock is 16:1; 3.5 turns lock to lock. With the commonly called "T/A quick steering box" the box is not quick steering, the arm is. The T/A arm is longer. The worm gear ratio in the box is the same. The unit is different though. The internal stops are different to compensate for the greater distance swept by the longer pitman end, to keep the wheels from turning into the inner fenders.

T/A pitman arms have different spline indexing/clocking! If you put an real T/A arm on a non T/A steering box, both wheels will turn more one way than the other. It is known that the T/A quick ratio box cars still came with the standard short idler arm. This will cause the passenger wheel to over turn near full lock. This can be fixed by putting on a 71 Fury idler. Remember, not all T/A or AAR's got quick arm boxes on them and some '71's got them.

I've heard and read ( /96 M.A.) that a C-body pitman with large spline steering box is long like the T/A pitman, but the splines need to be cut down. Then I started looking in the Moog Catalog and found there are lot of different C-Body arms out there. Which one works? I am still researching this.

There is a new fast ratio arm that Firm Feel in Washington sells. It seems like a great piece.

I was at a friends mopar restoration shop and noticed that the pitman he was taking out of a '67 Imperial was a long arm. After he took it out, we placed it next to a B/E-Body small spline pitman (68-72). Same spline size and indexing ! Will this work ? I don't know yet but I will have to find one in the junkyard and give it a try. There are no idlers or pitmans carried for 73 and older Imperials. The pitman and idler from that 67 imperial was shot and needed to be sent to Rare Parts in Sacramento to have them rebuilt for $130 each !

The catalog lists the part #'s by body style. I rearranged this to grouped by part #'s. This I think would be helpful to us.
