What connects to the pitman arm on a 67 camaro This is probably a really stupid question but does anyone have a picture of the arm that connects to the pitman arm (this is the arm that comes off the steering unit). It seems like Im missing an arm or something or maybe I've been sniffing too much fumes hahah. Any help would be appreciated or a diagram of the steering would do as well. Thanks

Here is a pic of a drag link with the tie-rods dettached. It is also called a center link or relay rod. It connects to the pitman arm and the idler arm. The inner tie-rod ends are attached to it.
(Picture is like I am standing at the radiator looking down on the assembly.)

Thanks for the responses and the pic 67rsss. What threw me off is on the right side there is a bolt in the hole with a nut on it. Thanks for the assistance!!

Quick note, while it really only fits one way, make tie rods are attached from the tranny side. The idler and pitman connections are higher up, and the bend moves the rod closer to the crossmember. Here is a pic of the orientation just before we installed the drag link / tie-rod assembly after rebuild....
