It’s in the box. When holding the steering wheel and having the front of the car of the ground, the wheels can be turned about 5mm (sorry in Europe). The damn adjustable screw doesn’t have hex on it so tightening it isn’t that easy.

Can define the definition of tight? How many play do you have? I understand that a certain amount of play is needed or else the gears will destroy themselves.

bought it new through Rockauto

I've got some play on my new 16.1 ratio manual steering box and already adjusted the screw a few turns. The steering gear needs a minimum amount of play. I'm looking for an alternative to make it steer more firm. I want to reuse my electric PS which is mounted on the steering column. Can...

I've got a vibration at 60-70 mph. Slighty noticable a 50 mph. My trans is 2,3 degree down and the pinion is 2,5 degree down. I'm using Hotchkis leaf springs and shims already. Which angle of the pinion is acceptable? I'm really tilting towards doing a QA1 tubular swap this winter and get rid...

What is my driveline worth? Performance McCandless blueprinted 440 (+0.030 over) with ported and polished heads and 509 cam, comes with intake, Holley carb and distributor. 727 transmission with manual valve body and 3500 convertor, comes with oil tube and indicator, trans bracket, flex plate...

Any pictures to share?

Does anybody have experience with a QA1 rear suspension for a 68-70's b body? Will 3 inch exhaust pipes fit?

Well when putting your engine 3 inch forwards you need to make your own bracket. Make sure the angle is correct. 0-3 degree downwards and the pinion 0-3 degree upwards.

Had to cut the crossmember and hammer the tunnel a few places. And cut a few ribs from the trans.

Yes. Because the hump on the trans you need to. Or you need the trans bracket. Now my car has the nag1 trans with Holley brackets.

No need to cut the crossmember for the 518. Just cut a few ribs from the trans

Had it made. No issues.

The Yukon/Usa Gear Standards from Rockauto are cut to fit. I’m leaning to the Dr.Diff axles. Have to take the rear end apart before I can see what I need.

I want to replace my axles of the 8 3/4 and i'm doubting between Moser, Dr.Diff or Yukon (USA Gear Standard). The Moser and Dr.Diff are stock lenght. The Yukon (available through Rockauto) are cut to length?? Does anybody have experience with one of them?
