I've rebuilt the front end on my 67 coupe and I seem to have the the wrong idler arm. Whats the difference between a manual and a power steering arm? Iv'e got a manual arm on my power steer car. Also my steering wheel doesnt return to all the way to center after turning, it comes most of the way back but needs a little help for the last half turn or so.

The manual and power steering linkage parts are completely different. The power steering ram changes everything. Get the right idler arm.

I plan on doing that , I just saw a pic of an idler arm for the power steer car and saw that it was different than what they gave me at mustangs plus , I guess we had a communication problem
