This straight unit did not allow for proper trajectory of the steering,

The later cars were equipped with the newer units.
The early cars shipped out with the staright arms, were later shipped
with new angled units that were to be retro-fitted.

Not everyone replaced the straight arm units....

That's odd, I didn't see your comments until I decided to respond to your post to ask if that photo was (presumably) a Hemi A-body lower ball joint and steering arm.

P.S. Hey Paul, do you know about Colesy's new forum? http://www.colesy-juniorstockforum.com/forum/index.php
