    Simple (almost stupid simple) DIY camber gauge

    So I was working on building a camber gauge to adjust out what's been wearing my front tires. I was working off the general principals of the angle iron gauge youtube model. I had 5/16 and 7/16 bar stock laying around and got 80% done, drilled and tapped holes, made a slot to adjust, found...

    73 and up spindle retraction...sort of...

    Browsed through the Apr issue of Mopar Action at a local supermarket. In an article of "tech tricks" it advises "...can't get enough negative camber?....add a shim between the LCA and the LBJ/spindle...1/4" (IIRC) is enough" Doesn't that basically make the spindle the same height as the 73-79...

    73 and up UCA bushings- marking position?

    So, I'm about ready to pull the upper control arm off. I want to put the bar back where it was, so the new bushings will put the arm back in the proper place. Because of the curve of the bar, I can't get a paint pen or even a sharpie in there, to get a good mark, so I can line it back up. I...

    73 and up UCA bushings- missing from FSM

    Anyone got tips, a how to or a video link? I got the PDF 1973 Charger manual from mymopar.com, but it skips right over the new for '73 captive UCA pivot. There are detailed instructions for the familiar 72 and down style, still in use on A and C body cars in '73, but nothing for B body. It...

    New brake lines- Inline Tube or other?

    Looked at my OEM lines to asses cleaning. They look like crap, and will suck to clean for my 73 Sat DOT 5 conversion. I'm aware of Inline Tube, Fine Lines and Right Stuff. Is one better than another? Has anyone had issues going with stainless? I got Right Stuff SS trans lines, and while no...

    How do aftermarked sway bars mount and should I weld this closed?

    How do aftermarket sway bars mount and should I weld this closed? I'm not real comfortable with the way this sway bar is mounted to the K frame. How do others do it? I have a factory small block bar, but this one's a lot larger. Still, I don't feel it's working very well. I see the...

    Master cyl studs different?

    So, my rockauto M/C came without studs- no big deal. I pushed out the ones from the one I'm replacing, wire brush them, and paint them... ...and when I go to draw them into the new M/C, they just fall all the way in- No splining action at all. What gives with that? The don't look...

    Timken TRP1559TV fits?

    I found one of these bearings at a thrift store for $2. I just googled it and the first hit was 1964 Chrysler. Napa's site says it fits my 73 Satellite, but it never asked me what axle. If it's 8 3/4, * 1/4, or even 7 1/4, I'll probably go back and get it. Could it be the front...

    8 3/4 axle chart - the good one Sticky please?

    Can we get the "good" axle measurement chart as a sticky? The one that has the correct numbers for the 66/67 axles? I can never seem to find it when I need it.

    Hey- PST guy...why doesn't the search work on the PST site?

    Never has for me, ever since the site was redesigned (quite some time and sevreal browsers ago). My computer is quite up to date. The search area bar just keeps those scrolling diagonal lines, like it's loading. That pretty much renders the site useless to me, since there's no other way to...

    rear swaybar link length aftermarket

    Hoping to get some help or at leat the theory so I can figure it out on my own... My 73 Sat has aftermarket sway bars. The rear bar uses the same style end links that my factory 66 front bar uses. I also see this style at the local auto parts stores, so it must be common. It's the style with...

    cleaning brake fluid from body/frame

    My new 73 satellite has a leaking master cylinder. What can I do to clean the brake fluid off the firewall and frame (including inside the frame) and prep it so it doesn't rust out later? The car has undercoating and I can see where the brake fluid has loosened it and caused some to peel...

    Pittman arm to gear torque spec

    Am I missing something? I have the digital 66 Plymouth manual and a hardcopy 67 Coronet manual, and neither has the spec for this. In fact, any reference to the "steering arm" is hard to find. It's not included in the disassembly procedures, but the torque specs for the steering gearbox...

    73 Charger prop valve fitting to rear line

    Anyone know what size fitting this is? I know it's 3/16, and the same as a 5th Ave, but I don't know the threads. I only have one and I need another one. I suppose I could u-pull from another M body, but I'd like to know.Might be worth the shipping charge to save the time and labor. My guess...

    Pitman arm boot

    Does anyone sell just the boot? My Pittman arm checks out fine, but the boot is rotted through. I hate to spend $100 just to get a new boot. This boot was NOT made/pressed into the arm, just trapped between the arm and the center link. I looked on the PST site and ebay, but didn't see any...

    Brake M/C line fitting threads

    I've read in a couple places that the lines going into the master cylinder could have different sizes and/or thread pitch for different years. Anyone know the specifics of that? I have a couple of what I think are 70-74 dual disk Masters, and the one from my 87 5th Ave, plus the MP kit M/C...

    Warning RE: energysuspensionparts.com

    On Feb 28 I placed an order with Energysuspensionparts for a kit containing UBJ, LBJ, all 4 tie rod ends and tie rod sleeves- all Moog brand parts. I did price these parts locally, and the savings was about $200 The same parts from Rockauto, were actually a bit more, by about $30. My parts...

    Brake hose with M body spindles on 66

    Anyone who has put M body spindles with rear mounted calipers on a 66/67... What brake hose did you use and what did you do about the hose to line bracket on the frame. The 66 hose will reach the bracket, but just barely. The 87 hose has a stiffener that makes it the wrong shape, and the...

    Use stering parts from 5th Ave?

    Can I use the pittman/idler arms from my 5th Ave? I've been told I can use the steering box and that it could be a "firm feel". I've also ben told that I have to use the pittman arm to do it. How about center link? The pitt and idler look strange, like they've been cast to go around the...

    FMJ body spindle secret is officially out

    I went to three U pulls today and EVERY F and M body was missing the spindles. There were at least 6-8 between the three yards. Either there are a lot of people doing disk conversions or there are a few people hoarding them and trying to make a profit.
