A question for the camaro steering experts. I want to know if my 68 z28 has the right parts on it for the quick ratio steering. the steering box is a #5679142 manual box, right now about 6 turns lock to lock, the steering arms are #3902520 and #3902519 and i replace the pitman arm long ago with an aftermarket which looks to measure about 5.25, now if i found a long pitman arm #3953225 , would my steering system be back to factory fast ratio?

I not sure about your quick ratio steering question, but I have documented the above casting numbers (with the 519 steering arm being the left one) on several original '68 Z/28s. :)

thanks for the info guys, thats very helpful, here is one more question for some of the 68 z28 owners out there, if you have the same set up as i do how many turns of the steering wheel from lock to lock on your cars? mine is about 6 turns, but i have the wrong pitman arm. thanks

A little bit more than 3 turns of the steering wheel lock to lock. I would estimate it to be 3-1/8 turns lock to lock.
