I removed the PRO COMP 13120 add a leaf from my 64 Polara. It lowered the ride height 2 inches. Available at Summit. Cheap also.

I rebuilt the valve in my 62 300 the same way except I used Aluminum or steel pop rivets after removing the shaft / pin from the rivet. You will have a flange on the rivet body to work with.

The add a leaf pictured would be the shortest leaf in the stacked pack - so it would only go on the bottom of the leaf stack.

I took out a set of helper springs from my 64 Polara. Dropped the back end close to 1 3/4 inches. They're cheap and summit lists them under item #13120-1

I'm wondering if this issue might be related to the Carter M6903 fuel pump. Both my Polara and my 1962 300 have these pumps, and both cars had the same fuel pump rod issue. Both rods were OEM units. I've done some reading on these pumps and there are a lot of issues with higher than advertised...

This is what happens when your fuel pump push rod goes south.

Am I the only one to suggest getting a professional appraisal? Could save your behind in case of a claims dispute.

I guess I clicked on the wrong reply button. I meant to reply to 62440. Still new at this internet forum thing.

Get a professional appraisal. If you have a claim you want to insured for the right amount. An appraisal should protect you in case of a claims dispute rather than just agreeing on an agreed amount with the insurer. An agreed amount may end up causing grief if the insurance company has a change...
