To center the steering box shims are used on the mounting points. The pitman arm needs to swing in the proper arc - the mounting pts are the x y & z alignment that affect the arc of the pitman arm swing and the geometric center of the box. More geometry. The "book" from mother mopar direct...

un equal tie rod lengths are typically caused by the steering box not being "centered" geometrically. It's a trigonometry thing. With a laser level lots of interesting things can be looked at to see what is what. As for the alignment - remove the shocks so the car can be jounced to settle the...

some bad advice... Impact shouldn't matter. Yes it does matter.

Free help is now closed Today's gasoline is formulated to run in engines that operate with a min operating temperature of 195 degrees. A lower min operating temperature of 180 degrees or worse 160 degrees; allows raw fuel to collect on the intake surfaces and engine oil that never...

Plugs show tuning issues. Those that think a six pak engine does not require a 195 t stat are not understanding the principles of 6 paks and proper tuning.

Try again on the operating temp , if a 195 t stat is not run - no matter how good the tune up - raw gas collects in the intake manifold and eventually burns off ping ponging the air fuel. Instrumentation does not lie, multiple cars, multiple configurations all show the same data. Argue with...

How many turn out are the ctr carb idle mixture screws? should be between 1-1.5 How many turns out is the center carb throttle plate adj screw? 2 turns from zero gives 0.040 on the slot Is there a 195 degree thermostat? This is must. Does the car start on it's own after a hot soak? It should...

JCC show us your hillclimb car or just show us something cool you are driving rather than your drivel and more...drivel The owner of the very cool car does not have to prove anything to you

This is best thread ever, thank you all for sharing

Drum brake cars equipped with modern lining material stop very well.

Modern education seems to have eliminated the importance of analytical thinking. "Question everything" used to be what I remember being taught in university; now it's "Believe everything you see". there you have it all you knowitalls...."chicken little" called today - the sky is falling and...

Remove your very crass juvenile disrespectful post you moran! Ban him!!!

magnetic pick up in the distributor - a most common failure but overlooked by the rocket scientists on all the forums connect an ohm meter to the 2 terminals and spin the distributor. The ohm meter will change state from a reading in ohms to open circuit as the reluctor passes the pick up.

it's too bad you fell for the asbestos is the best lining material. There are so many better choices in stopping power. Rochester Clutch and Brake. Do what no one else will do here. Call them and report back what Sam the owner tells you.

Proper rolling burnout procedure requires line lock or stay home because some one will get hurt. Water is not needed but practice is...the car needs to be very predictable if you are going to do a proper rolling fueler style burnout. Any other burnout is child's play. Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaa
