    the filler neck apparently is soldered or welded on. Which should I do? Thanks!

    Used torsion bars??

    Do TB eventually deform, and/or lose designed torque resistance, like leaf springs? If so, would the front end sag? Can the bar be twisted, to restore height and response? FWIW, I bought new ones, reasonable price for my 63 Vert, 1.05, I think and am pleased with the ride!

    Switching from single to dual master cylinder

    For my 63 SF vert, i bought a reconditioned set of calipers, discs, spindles from a 73 A body, which fit fine, and somewhat cheaper than a new kit. A dual MC also from the same era. Dual brake systems were mandatory from 68 I think, and I would not drive without a dual system.

    Very stiff steering after new box; pinch pump return line???

    Apologies to all: I asked for the HD spec, not the factory spec "balls". They have offered to re-do with the standard size balls. So, before I pay for its removal, and re-do, I am trying to decide whether to spend the $ to rebuild the pump.

    Very stiff steering after new box; pinch pump return line???

    Yes it worked well, AFAIK. The steering and suspension were unbelievably loose. All the adjustment on the box was used. Hence the rebuild.

    Very stiff steering after new box; pinch pump return line???

    Yes excellent rebuilder here in Pac NW, I don't want to criticize them publicly, as their turn around time is miraculous, and their customer focus superb. The print out of the alignment is at the mechanic's. It was done to the specs of an 80 Reliant, the oldest their machine had, but is close to...

    Very stiff steering after new box; pinch pump return line???

    The front suspension, brakes, and steering is all new on my 63 SF. However, the steering is so stiff that there is no caster return: the car stays in the turn unless I manually wind it back to straight ahead. Alignment is close to specs. The guys who rebuilt the box say to do a "pinch test"...

    Looking for the „best“ front end starting from K-Member to full front suspension

    Dumb question, feel free to ignore: I just replaced my stock 0.88 torsion bars on my 63 SF vert with 0.94 new ones. Then...I discovered multiple used t bars for sale here! Is there any advantage to new t bars? Do they wear and distort and lose proper torque? BTW the handling is superb with the...

    Rebuilt front suspension and steering box - too stiff! Help please

    I looked through all previous threads, which mostly concern loose steering. On my 63, I have a rebuilt RedHead heavy box, 0.94 bars, and all suspension parts, idler, Pitman etc new, plus disc brakes. The car is transformed with a ride and stiffness that is balanced. But...the power steering has...

    Power Steering Reaction Pressure Springs?

    Thanks! I shall deliver the box to Red Head in Auburn WA tomorrow. They promise to rebuild to a H spec. Hope it is not too stiff! Steer n Gear would not sell me the thicker reaction springs, and also said that they install tight ball bearings, etc. They were very responsive, as was Red Head.

    Power Steering Reaction Pressure Springs?

    thanks again i found part number: 1822 134 for all 63 Plymouth Dodge Chrysler Imperial. I assume this is the standard feel. I am still searching for the tighter, maybe police/ HD springs.
