I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the Pitman Arm is any different for power steering and manual steering? 

I have purchased a manual drag link and idler arm for a manual steering conversion. I'm not quite sure if the pitman arm is actually different or not. 

Thanks

I would visually compare the two together. A simple and easy thing to do if the old one is already out.

Taking an educated guess, I'd gamble and say they are the same. I might be wrong though.

I would but I don't have the manual one currently. Going to need to order it online someplace. But, I will end up waiting for the rest of the parts and will see if it all fits together.

From what I gather, they are different. The M/S has a stud and larger end, where the P/S just has a hole. Ford part #'s are different so that makes sense. Check out the ones on eBay below for reference.
