    Jerking Car, electrical problem...

    sounds more like a suspension issue to me...i have a similar issue with my 68 and my tie rods are worn, so i figure that has something to do with it, along with worn steering componets...

    65 budget build

    I am no mechanic, but I think that a 302 can get around 340hp fairly wasy, and a lot cheaper than $4000. I think an 8" rear would be fine on a 340hp car, especially with street tires. I am sure someone more knowledgable will chime in here and give you specifics...

    8.8 REAR VS 9"

    I had a 2001 ranger that I rebuilt after it was wrecked and the rear end housing tube was warped slightly. It is a 4.10 31 spline drum rear. The ranger was an edge...I thought about trying to use this in my 68 coupe but by the time I rebuild the brakes and straighten the tube I would probably be...

    Lowering springs...

    thanks guys, I guess I will put them in and let them settle, then cut if necessary...is the general rule of thumb 1/2 coil equals 1" lower?

I am getting ready to partially rebuild my front end...roller perches, upper bll joints and shafts...I want to my tire to at least be even with the wheel well, maybe even a little bit tucked. I have 225/45-17 up...

    Rag Joint

    When I was replacing the rag joint the thought did cross my mind that it could be eliminated...thats interesting that someone did actually replace it. I would love to see pictures of it...

    Rag Joint

    Yea, me too, and I ran across one looking for some suspension parts and thought that for the price, if it didnt do anything it really wouldnt be a big deal, but I was really pleased with the results...

    Rag Joint

    I just wanted to say how much I benefited from changing my rag joint on my 68 coupe...I hsd probably 5"-6" of slop in my steering, and after changing my rag joint with a poly one from laurel mountain I probably have about 2" of play now...I am very pleased with this upgrade and it was only $30...

    Tire Rubs..

    I should be able to get a free alignment too...my shop class in high school, when I graduated in 2000 we got a new alignment rack that at the time was better than any garage in the tri state had, so if i talk to my shop teacher maybe he will let me take it one day and do it myself...

    Tire Rubs..

    So with these alignement specs you gave, should i go to the +3.0, -1.5, and 1/8, or should I try to hit the median of these? also the car doesnt pull when i am going strait, just when the suspension travels up or down a bit...like if i hit a bump or if the transmission shifts hard...

    Tire Rubs..

    how will that effect handling on a street car...since the new wheels and alignment the car rides more like a boat...when i hit a dip or something the car will pull one way...
