    manual steering help

    I'm still searching. Here's one writeup I found. My '65 has the long shaft. In replacing the box with a FR box, I removed the drivers seat, the steering wheel, the column sheath, the left shock tower brace, the z-bar clutch linkage, spark plugs and the left header, the left valve cover. I...

    manual steering help

    I'm probably not going to be any help here. Mine has the rag joint to column and I think your's is what's called a long shaft. I have never had one of those apart. If I had to guess I would think the nut that holds the steering wheel on is the other end of it?? Now if it is I dont know what's in...

    manual steering help

    Ok. I am confused. The thread says manual steering help. But you are asking about a power steering pump? If you have a pump in the way, then take the lines off and pull it out. Are you talking about the gearbox on the frame? :shrug:

    has anyone tried any of these products

    I am going to guess you still use the lower control arm. If not then it comes with something to replace it. But this leads me to believe you keep the lower. "Because the chassis has reduced stress by fitting an RRS conversion kit, (which also eliminates the Ford upper-arm) the shock tower can be...

    RestoMod & Brakes

    From all the ones I have looked at. They seem priced from around $895.00 to $1,295.00 depending on what you want. I am replacing the factory disk setup on mine. I think I am going with the one with the slotted rotors and better pads. Seems like I had decided on NPD for mine. I am going to order...

    Disc Brake Clearance / Wheel Bearing

    If you talking about slack in the bearing once you have installed the seal. The back bearing will move off the race and toward the seal. If I remember right it seems like a 1/4" or so. That is normal. When you slide the rotor on the spindle the tapered part will tighten the bearing into the...

    Disc Brake Clearance / Wheel Bearing

    If I understand all the drum to disk stuff. As long as you have V8 spindles the rotors will fit and work. The 1967's had a different size spindle then the 68-69's did. Bearings are different size. So is the calipers. Went from a 4 piston to a single piston design. Bud

    Which upper cont. arm is correct ?......

    My 67 had 4 bolt uppers and the new ones are 3 bolt. It seems like you cant get the 4 bolt ones anymore?? Unless you have a 65 or 66. I called everybody I could. I went with the Scott Drake arms. The pictures shows 4 bolt ones. But they are 3. You can get either ball joint, just not the arm. My...

    Anybody know who made these lower control arms??

    I hear what you guys are saying. But before we had all the companys now that make stuff. We had to do it the only way we could. I have pictures of the backside. But the bar is just welded to the arm real good. These are not new. They have been run on this car for a few years with no problems...

    FRONT DRAG SPRINGS

    I plan on using the small block stock springs with my FE motor. I was going to do the 6cyl springs and was told they would let it drop to much. I also am going to use 90/10's and some trick control arms and saddles and Global West strut rods if they ever show up. We shall see what happens.... :D...

    Anybody know who made these lower control arms??

    They were on the car. So I cleaned them up and put new balljoints in them. But there is no name on them. Any ideals? Thanks Bud

    Heater control settings for summer.

    Something else you guys can do if you dont want to fool with taking the hoses on and off. You can get a manual cutoff valve (Napa # 660-1414) thats for 5/8" heater hose and put those in both hoses. Then just turn them off and no more hot water coming inside. We do this on RV's because the dash...

    Catostrophic tranny failure on dyno

    While I hate to hear the bad luck. I want you to think about this. That could have happened on the track or street. You may have broke a bunch of parts on the dyno. If you had did that while driving/racing the car, you could have been killed or killed someone else, not to mention crash the car...

    Rebushing controll Arms

    Dont know about yours. But I couldnt find anybody that sold just the lower balljoints for mine. So I ordered new lowers and cut the rivets out of the balljoints so I could reuse the arms I have. They are not stock factory arms. They are somekind of a made race arm based off the factory ones...

    What's wrong with this car?

    You know I remember people doing that tail light thing in those days... :nonono: Might be me. But I think $500.00 would be a good price. I bet someone told them its worth thousands.... :rlaugh:
