[Chevelle-list] 64 Chevelle Centerlink trivia

[John]

Pete, I have the same problem.  If you find out which is which I sure would 
like to know.  Try to measure the diameter and I can get about as many 
readings as places I measure!  My pitman arm is larger hole and center lind 
has smaller stud.  Had to put washer on it to get it to fasten safely until 
I can find out what I really need.  Good luck and please post what you find.

John
