If the car is setup as most are the length of the pitman arm and idler arm need to be the same. A longer arm gives quicker steering but takes more effort so arms for manual steering would usually be shorter than those used for power steering all other things equal.
Well, with all of this good information, on this thread, the
question(s) that are
not being asked is/are: which Pitman arm assembly might provide the
'best'
handling/steering performance-response (with or without other
suspension components
being installed on a car)....for manual and/or power steering
systems

My apologies for failing to realize the steering section of the
parts book was separated between power and manual steering during
my quick trip. I use a PDF version. I am still interested in
knowing the dimensional differences between the two version of the
V-8 pitman.
A quick trip to the parts book
settles this discussion.
Â
6-cyl/manual is different from
6-cyl p/s.
V8/manual is different from
V8/p/s.
Â
V8 is different from 6-cyl.
Â
This is true for both 55-6.

Pitman arms?
Interesting. We removed an arm from a V8 manual car and
also one from a V8 P/S car, and they were clearly
different. Both '56 Dodges.

George,
I am going to have to respectfully disagree
with Tim. While there is a difference between the
pitman arms for 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder cars for
the 55/56 Dodge/Plymouths, the respective pitman
arms remained the same whether the car was
equipped with manual or power steering. The parts
book lists part number "1611 205" for all 8
Cylinder 55-56 Dodges and Plymouths and “1611 205�
for all 6 cylinder cars.Â
