    What do I need to get to upgrade to a "modern" Saginaw Power Steering Pump

    So I just got my Vintage Air "sure fit" AC kit for my 67 Coronet and reading through the instructions. Seems it is only a 'sure fit' if you have a "modern Saginaw" power steering pump. Otherwise you can order a TRW bracket that clearly states it won't work with a Federal pump. Well, what if you...

    Steering column shifter issues

    Not sure what I screwed up when I pulled the column out of the Road Runner last month during the steering box rebuild. Something is not right as it does not go into Park properly after you shift it a few times. Symptom is won't start in Park after a few shifter cycles. I can go back and adjust...

    Steering box removal. It's never easy for me.

    Started to tackle the steering box removal on my road runner today. Unfortunately it's the little things that causes the biggest aggravation and delays. The roll pin was shattered before from someone who had tried to get it out, or when it was driven in it split. I knocked out a few pieces of...

    Brake Line selector question, or what's all this 'hump stuff, anyhow?'

    I am considering a front disc conversion for my 1967 Coronet. In Line Tube has "straight" or "w/hump right front". I forgot is the 'hump' where the line goes under the frame rail? Anyone have a picture handy? Thanks and take care, Bill Products

    Rebuild wheel cylinder on car easy enough?

    I replaced the front wheel cylinders on my 1967 Coronet last weekend. Used new Chinesium ones from O'Reillys and fresh brake rubber hoses. Seems my passenger side is leaking. I am concerned that pulling the rubber line at the already rounded off tube nut may not hold another removal. Really...

    Picture of park brake cable to mechanism?

    Going to replace my park brake cable this weekend. I have the Factory Service Manual and the instructions and illustrations are great back at the drum, but really vague about the cable connection to the mechanism. If anyone has pictures, or advice on how to connect the cable I would be...

    rear drum brake drag

    Car is a 1968 Road Runner, stock rear 11 inch drums, WITHOUT self adjusters. Drove the car Friday night and noticed when braking from 45MPH I would hear a clunk from the right rear. It sounded like the old self adjusting when you back up and brake kind of clunk. As time went on with every clunk...

    Steer and Gear, or Firm Feel?

    I want to pull my original power steering box and send it for a rebuild. Stock 'no feel' rebuild is just fine with me as Chrysler intended. I used Steer and Gear 25 years ago and was happy (on a car I no longer own), but recently I have heard that customer service is better at Firm Feel. So...

    leaf spring descriptions 'for manual transmission cars'

    Hello All: I've been browsing replacement leaf springs for my 68 Road Runner, 383, 727, fairly stock. With the intention of not going with SuperStock, or competition replacement springs, I've noticed that the Heavy Duty replacements from Mancini, Summit, etc all describe 'factory stock for the...

    Can I fix this, or do I call InLine Tube?

    Hello All: Decided to connect all lines to the proportioning block and test fit the master cylinder. The line for the front brake portion fits like a glove. Spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how the rear line can fit into the master cylinder. Then decided to compare to the original...

    Dr Diff front disc conversion 68 Road Runner

    Hello all: Well, weekend one is complete for my Dr Diff front disc conversion. I'm a little over my head on this project, and may call in reinforcements soon. Not ready to give up, but the job is going very slowly. I can turn a wrench, but never performed any steering, or suspension work...

    Recommendation for replacement brake lines 68 Road Runner

    Hello: I have ordered my disc conversion from Dr Diff, and upon examining the front brake lines it looks as if I have one side rounded off at the rubber hose clip. Looking for recommendations on a replacement brake line source. Thanks, and have a nice day, Bill

    SSBC front disc conversion?

    Several of my motorhead friends (with Chevys) recommend SSBC for front disc conversions. I'm 90% convinced of going with Dr Diff, but like the idea of the easy installation of SSBC. The web site claims "Kit will bolt on to stock drum brake spindles with 10" drums and does not require a front...

    any experience with Right Stuff disc conversion kits?

    Hello: I've talked with the Ram Man, placed several messages and emails to Dr Diff (no reply yet), and searched around on the Right Stuff Detailing kits. I've read good and bad about all three. Any opinions on the Right Stuff kits? I have a 68 Road Runner. Jegs on eBay has the lowest price...

    Dr Diff front disc for 68 Road Runner

    Hello: I've read some of the posts here concerning Right Stuff Detailing and Dr Diff disc brake conversions. It seems a slight lean towards Dr Diff. I assume this is the kit everyone mentions? http://www.doctordiff.com/10.95-front-disc-brake-kit.html Any recommendations before I order...
