ohh one quick thing.. which i didn't know.. early bodies use a smaller steering box bolt than 66+ so the box will have 1/2" holes.. the bolts are 7/16" (i think that was the sizes) i had to get some sleeves to take up the space, my steering box was moving back and forth a bit before i did that..
Dad bought a Trans Am new in 1979.
301, automatic car. I was about 5 years old. That’s dad on the right.
Before that dad had a ‘67 Catalina with a 389. I was about 3 or 4 years old in this picture.
And my DD is an ‘09 G6. Doing a little fender bender repair after a deer ran into the side...
for the 69 super bee the tti headers cost 1100.00, Hookers black ceramic coated competition headers are 550 plus 60 for the reducers. I know the tti's would fit very well, has anyone installed the hookers on a 69 bee 440? hooker number 5903-3hkr
Remove the torsion bar adjusters, strut rod nuts, pop the knuckles loose at upper ball joint, remove the torsion bar pivot stud nuts. Then tap on the pivot studs with a piece of brass. It'll all come out together.

I thought I was going to have to buy 4 speed pedals for the car,but the car already has them in it! Winning! Today I am going to weld the torque arm bracket on the frame and the skid plate on the K frame because the Hemi oil pan is deeper than the 383 this car came with from the factory.
Sounds like the machine shop conned you to get money and doesn't know what they are doing anyway (Competition Specs, pffft). I would remove the shims under the spring cups as you have already found out that it should result in the proper 1.875" IH. The heights don't have to be identical, but...
Absolutely to cool!!! Great for replacement parts. I watched cars being drove off the line every 72 seconds. After the die is made, they would punch them out as fast as you could feed it in and pull them out. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. Thanks for sharing, very impressive!
I think people are their own worst enemy with this problem. They want solid lifter performance from a hydraulic tappet, roller lifter performance from a solid flat tappet; what could possibly go wrong? People "live and die" by the .904 lifter hype. Ignore the need for excessive spring pressures...
I’ve looked through a couple catalogs without success. A sleeve that fits a 18 spline is readily available but no one lists one for a 23 spline which added to the lack of them in catalogs makes me believe there isn’t one.
Not that I take this AI response for 100% accuracy but it’s all I could...
