I need to buy steering components soon for my 67 Camaro.
This is what I'm planning. Looking for feedback if I'm about to make a mistake.
Power steering
ATS 670 steering box
Moog Idler Arm K6582 5.78" (long one) - technically for a '69
Moog Pitman Arm for power steering K6099 5.375" (short one)
Moog Outer Tie Rods ES381RL - technically for a '69 (cheaper than ones for a '67s)
Moog Inner Tie Rods ES681N (for '67 thru '69)
Tie Rod Tubular Adjusting Sleeves - fit for a '69
I'm not sure on which steering arms to use (short ~5.25", medium 5.5", long 6"). I'm guessing the medium ones.
I also have to check if my center drag link is the .95" or 1.125" thick version. If I have the .95" inch one, should I upgrade to the thicker one ?
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. In case this info matters, I'm using:
1) Adjustable Pro-Lite SPC upper arms (delrin)
2) SPC lower arms from SC&C (delrin)
3) Howe Precision Ball Joints
4) ATS AFX Tall Spindles
Leaning towards a set of Eibach Pro springs that lower the car about 1 to 1.5" with a set of Bilstein Gas shocks. Or, I might go for a set of VariShock coil overs.
