I used the '36 steering arm but had to file in four new grooves so I could index the arm so it didn't hit the wishbone when I make a full right hand turn. NealinCa (on this forum) pressed on the roller and provided the above mentioned sector, maybe the sector wasn't from Argentina now that I think about it.

I also have the 78-3550 1937 pitman arm. Did you try to use the 37 pitman arm and it would not work?

I am going to be doing this job with the engine in place, I have a good plan but will update on how it goes.
