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
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
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...
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.
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???
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...
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...
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)
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!
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
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
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”
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...
