Did you buy your tie rods from PY? If so, beware and double check them!! I found out the hard way that the sleeves didn't lock down and my tie rods worked their way out and ruined two new tires on my car. I'm dang lucky that it wasn't worse than that!!!

The pitman arm should point fore and aft when the steering is centered, as should the idler arm. The centerlink should be parallel to the crossmember. If it's not, you probably have a Firebird pitman arm, but somebody would have had to screw up to do so.

I finished up my 66 front end with the spicer inners. Purchased from Autozone. Everything is fine. Hope you get it figured out.
