I am resurrecting this thread to see if the folks who have these units have any further input , a year down the road.
S&G is closer to me so it would be cheaper as far as shipping.....plus a little savings on the actual cost.
Do these companies handle the "firmness upgrades" the same way?
Firm Feels site points out that I could use the 73 unit instead and save $$ on the new pitman arm ($80).
S&G emailed me back when I asked them about this and said
"I can rebuild your 72 gear then you dont need to change pitman arm. If arm is bad we rebuild arm for 115.00 "
Which got me to thinking......I am planning on replacing the pitman arm since it is as old as the rest of the gear and I figured to be safe I should. I dont know for sure if it is bad or not. Clearly, its cheaper to buy a new 73 pitman arm for $50 than spend $130 for a new 72 or have mine rebuilt for $115.
Thoughts on this?

Ok, now I am confused more than ever....I wrote back to S&G explaining my thinking with going with the 73 steering box....cheaper pitman arm etc. dueto the larger size of the sector shaft n the 73-up boxes...
Here is what they wrote back:
"The older 72 box was built better...to start with 73 chry started to cut corners. If you are putting disc brakes on car you will need large c/s because front end parts are different"
then, in a later email
"72 arm goes one way 73 goes the other center link will be different also"
I am swapping to disks, using 75 Dart spindles and standard 72 ebody balljoints etc..... What is S&G telling me here???
Sounds like either Firm feel has their info wrong or S&G does...any ideas?
