Pitman arm for 1969 Firebird
 

I thought these were fairly common, but apparently not!

Please get it touch if you have one for sale. 1969 Firebird. PM me or send an email to john.creuziger@cruzeware.com

I'm changing over from manual to power steering and need the pitman arm.

Thanks,

John

Try these guys. A lot of times if they don't have it they can get it.

Thanks! Will try them if nothing shows up here...

Checked with Frank's....struck out.

Gotta be one out there!

Try this:
Performance Years Part # RFU-213B

You may have to switch out your Center Link too.

1969-74 Nova is the same????

Will give this a try. Listed as out of stock, so we'll see...

Thanks!

No good -- order rejected because not in stock :(

I'll check the Nova compatibility....

I have this pitman arm, sent you an e-mail.

Received! I'll get back with you tomorrow....

Well, I'm still looking for this elusive pitman arm!

461bird offered a swap for my manual setup but I'm keeping that.

Anyone out there with one to sell? Same contact info...pm me or shoot me an email at john.creuziger@cruzeware.com

Thanks,

John

Have you looked into a '69 Camaro pitman arm:

Not sure it's same for Firebird.... if it's different (between 'bird & camaro), then you could consider swapping over the entire steering linkage to Camaro to insure compatible parts. Probably costs less than 150 bucks for a complete, new Camaro setup.

I thought about doing this 10 yrs ago for my '69 Firebird... I needed an idler arm and NOBODY offered a new one. Some time later, a company called "Rare Parts" offered it for $150. I was shocked... almost swapped everything to Camaro since it was cheaper than the single firebird idler arm... but then bit the bullet and paid for the "Rare" part. I kick myself for not swapping to Camaro parts back then... especially with the thought of needing another Firebird piece (since I still drive the car a lot, including Hot Rod Power Tour).

Good Luck!

Sound advice and it looks like I may be going down the Camaro path in the end...

What would I need beyond the pitman arm? New center link, I'm sure. Anything else?

Thanks!

Is the 69 the same as the 68 pitman arm ?

If you swap to 68 camaro or firebird

youll need to change pitman arm -idler arm center link and inner and outer tie rods

68 birds and camaros used the same center link not sure 100% on the other stuff though

that 69 pitman is a tuff one to find for sure

I have a 67 gearbox with pitman arm. Will that work. Also have the rest of the linkage if needed.

Hi

Why are you changing the pitman arm?? When i went from std. steering to power steering all I changed was the steering box & put the arm on that was on the std box & it worked just fine , no problems at all. Ran the hoses & worked the way it should have . I didn't change the pitman arm, this was on a 68 conv. bird. >

Original'60's and '70's GM PS pitman arms had a larger splined hole than same application manual steering pitman arm, that is why JCruz is looking for a '69 Bird PS pitman arm #7806617

When did you have your Firebird, Rex?
