    PST Adjustable Strut Rods Pro and Con

    Negative Ghost rider! Lol! Because the bars themselves are adjustable, you don’t run into that problem. The proper way to set them up is this.... 1. Take shock and torsion bar out 2. Install the adjustable PST strut rod 3. Now using a jack, cycle the suspension up/down and adjust the bar...

    Torsion Bar Markings

    Does anyone know what these numbers mean? 1st picture is the left and is stamped: 777 ULT... 2nd pic is the right and is stamped: 776 CBW. I'm guessing 777 for left and 776 for right (odd left, even right), but have no clue what the letters mean. I like my suspension on my 67 Coronet raised...

    Rookie move, need advice

    First step is to go buy yourself a service manual before you hurt yourself. Then back off the torsion bar adjusting bolt like you should've in the first place. Once the load is removed from the spring you can easily move the LCA. You do not need a come along or weight on the car or straps. Hard...

    Complete front suspension rebuild and some rear also.

    I started on the passenger side I was able to install the torsion bar, lower control arm, strut rod, and the Bilstien shock. My measurements were NOT accurate enough that I sent to PST I was off by and inch on the spacer I said 4" it was 3" and the bolt which I said was 7" was 6" so I just cut...

    5.7 truck swap into a 67 coronet

    The drive train from your ram would be a great swap to my 77 Midnight express/Warlock clone. one thing with using the stock PCM, in an older vehicle is SOMETIMES with the new vehicles it has the PATS system, where you need the "chip" in the key for the thing to start, that can be a headache to...

    Steering Box install question(s)

    Wow, just doesn’t look like the steering box can clear the K member & make it out the bottom. I guess I’ll find out as I do it. I’m ready to pull the header, if needed. Torsion bar as well, I guess. BTW... what is the “spool valve” (& how do I avoid it “getting bumped”?) Obviously, I...

    68 Charger R/T Clone refurb

    Last few weeks have been busy with the holiday, so before today it was just lots of little odds and ends done: - Fresh set of spark plugs - Made spark plug wires, installed the M&H plug wire brackets. Looks pretty slick, I'll get a better pic of the engine bay cleaned up. - Installed headers -...

    Engine and trans install?

    Thread revival... I've a 383 that I'm about to refit. It came out with a cherry picker and on its own - no headers, trans, carb etc. I never really planned to take it out, just parts kept coming off... When I re-install, if I install as one unit - with trans and starter attached and with the car...

    1969 Dodge Charger Base vs RT

    Just in case you don't know, Mopars use Torsion bars instead of coil springs. To your question, the difference in torsion bar diameter (aka size or thickness) is based on the engine the car was built with. So in your situation, the 318 car would have thinner (smaller) torsion bars than an RT...

    Question for those who have replaced a floor.

    There are a few things to consider. Do you have a strict budget and is there a timeline on the repair? I prefer a full pan and is easier to do than patching, but it depend on the projects price and time budgets. I have done full pans, half pans, and quarter pans. I also like the full pan to...

    Talladega or Bust - 1970 Super Bird Cleanup

    Soldered up and sunk in fuel for bubble check, left it there for the night. First cut ever on 50 year old rotors. Hubs filled with grease and bearings hand packed. Inner seal #2768012. I have to assume this is the OE and doesn't have a protruding dust lip like the replacement. OE seal and...

    want big tube headers on my 66 coronet

    I installed Hooker Super Comps 1 3/4" 3" collector on my '67 w/ 440 auto. What a PITA. Did install in driveway; took 2 eight hour days for install. Had the car way off the ground and had to undo motor mounts. Ironically, passenger side slid in easy; driver side was an issue b/c of tight fit...

    Anybody have experience with shorty headers in a small block B body?

    Here's the TTI shorties in a 67 Belvedere, but with a 4 speed. Very easy to install. The driver side adapter pipe was a little tricky to install without pulling the torsion bar but I got it in. Switching from small port manifolds it was a noticeable increase in power, especially once the carb...

    Idler arm removal

    You can see the difference in the profile. Don't know why anyone would change it from the original but it's what some of us have found. Your solution would be to dent the header for clearance. I would probably mock up or just install and snug up the other pieces and see how they clear before...
