    Any experience with Cardone rebuilt power steering box?

    I’ve been running a Cardone box for about 6 yrs without a problem. Make sure there’s actually one in stock

    PS pump filler neck loose! Weld? Solder? Duct tape??

    Hmmm…..yes, replace unless it’s a “numbers matching” car. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure it’s brazed solder/torch

    Upper control arms adjuster washer pocket

    I agree with Mike....and be SURE it's secure so your wheels don't fall off

    69 Charger Steering column removal

    Important - keep in mind that the main shaft is like a “collapsible antennae”, so don’t pry or pound very hard up or down. It’s just some tiny plastic pins that keep the shaft at the correct length…can be repaired, but annoying to do

    Rear brake bleeding

    Also, I believe there may be a little metal pin on the brake proportioning/hold off valve that needs to be held out while bleeding the rear brakes. Check a factory service manual

    Can't catch a "brake"

    Dang....#1, re-bleed the master cylinder. Maybe try those little hoses that loop back into the reservoir? If that doesn't work, maybe isolate the front/back....put a plug in the side of the master cylinder for one line and see if the brakes are still too the floor or not. That will tell you...

    Steering Coupler Question

    thinking outside of the box here.....do you have a dremel bit long enough to just gouge out one of the splines on your coupler? It doesn't have to be perfect. There's a bunch of splines to hold the steering shaft.

    Parking brake rear cable RE525

    I just looked at inline tubes.... it doesn't say which 71-74 rear end it fits. Maybe 8-1/4", 8-3/4", Dana 60, or 9-1/4" rear ends might use different parking brake cables that go to the brakes???

    Front end alignment

    Yes. The super stock springs for b-bodies are actually a-body length (front section) leaf spring with extended front leaf spring hangers (to reach the shorter springs) & those hangers have 2 sets of holes. One set of holes is the stock location. With super stock springs, the rear end goes WAY...

    Front end alignment

    In my experience, yes, SS springs raise the back of the car A BUNCH if you use the stock location hole in the front shackles. If you use the other hole, the rear end of the car comes back down to normal BUT, your pinion angle is way off (nose up pinion) requiring you to replace the rear spring...

    Torsion bar advice

    I haven't installed them yet, but I bought a pair of PST 1.03" diameter torsion bars. Besides those, there are some 1.10" Hotchkis bars and factory bars (that I am aware of)

    Disc Brake conversion kit hardware question.

    The flat copper washers are actually gaskets. They go between the flexible brake hose (metal end) and the caliper.

    Addco Front Sway Bar Review

    Yep. It’s a little over 1” diameter & smaller than the Hellwig front sway bar. I’m happy with my results for a cruiser car

    Where to find 70 disc master cylinder cover gasket?

    I’ve got a 1970 Roadrunner with factory power front disc brakes. I’m having a hard time finding the gasket/diaphragm for the master cylinder cover? Any ideas? THANKS!

    Addco Front Sway Bar Review

    I just replaced the original sway bar in my ‘70 Road Runner with an Addco bar. The improvement is very noticeable. The car is much flatter in sharp corners. I would recommend one

    Torsion Bar Opinions? - 70 Road Runner

    Thanks. I’m starting to look at larger front sway bars. And suggestions? I’ve got the original sway bar & it seems ok, but I’m open to reasonably priced upgrades that make the car safer

    Torsion Bar Opinions? - 70 Road Runner

    Well put. I get the idea of clocking, but the idea of “can get lowered or stock ride height” from the same bar made me wonder if they were reversible or something & clocked??? I got a pair, so we’ll find out. I have got a set of b-body 6 cylinder bars too, so I will try to compare the “clocking”

    Torsion Bar Opinions? - 70 Road Runner

    Cool. So, what is this stuff I'm reading "clocked 20 degrees for lowered or stock ride height" all about? Do you know?

    Torsion Bar Opinions? - 70 Road Runner

    1970 Plymouth Road Runner - This car was a street racer, but I'm slowly converting it over to a long distance cruiser. The car has a stock front suspension & super stock leaf springs with 2" lowering blocks (to make car level) in the back. I'm still running the original torsion bars. They...
