Default Help with 68 camaro

Hey guys just doing some research on the third gen steering upgrade, but I also was having some confusion about the outside steering arms. It seems there are three lengths and I can't seam to decide which is the best to use for a great handling car. Thanks in advance for all your advice

Presumably you want quick ratio if you're looking at the 3rd gen box, so go for the shortest arms.

Here some good info..

http://www.pozziracing.com/camaro_steering.htm Scroll down about half way and look at "Outer Steering Arms - Three Lengths!" see below

SHORT LH-3954879 RH-3954880 (listed in parts book as 5.312" long, this may be the actual correct length for all short arms)

SHORT JL8 four wheel disc arms, 1969 Z/28 Heat Treated, Shot Peened, (probably short 5.3") LH 3916237, RH-3916238



MEDIUM ARM 5.5" length RH-3916266 LH -3916265? not sure what ratio. 67 and into 68 manual steer.
