My point exactly. The bubble level allows for what equates to a reset for each time it is used to measure.

This is where there is difficulty in understanding the difference. This gauge: Does not stay in place the entire time. It can be removed and reattached. This gauge is used in a different manner than what is used on an alignment rack. Think of it this way: Turn the steering wheel 20 degrees to...

This must be a way to check alignment that you’re not familiar with. If you refuse to watch the video, you won’t understand. This gauge attaches to the hub. Here are the instructions. If this type of tool is foreign to you, I understand. Young guys in construction used to bring...

I know that with a strong caster angle (positive or negative) there is a pronounced tilt to the wheel and tire at full lock. Yes, I'm aware that this can lift or droop the car based on the angle. What I'm missing is how the brakes affect this in any way. I'm not rotating the tire. It does not...

This still doesn't make sense. I have these: If you didn't see his video, here it is: He used a gauge like this: It is held against the hub. The wheel is not turned with the gauge attached, the wheel is tuned hard left and measured, then hard right and measured. New tricks on...

Thanks for trying but that still makes no sense to me. I watched the video that junkerup (Chris Birdsong) put on YouTube and using hand held gauge, the brakes were never touched.

That isn’t very clear, Rob. Why would an unlocked brake matter? Cars don’t move on alignment racks so the brakes are redundant.

There is an option. It isn't cheap though.... At FBBO, a member there posted links to retrofit EFI gas tanks that used different sending units that appeared to have a cylindrical type of float rather than the stock type that swings in an arc. These were supposed to read with greater accuracy.

The next step is a new or rebuilt steering box. The Mopar unit is notorious for wearing out faster than other models. I had Chevy steering boxes that felt great despite being over 100,000 miles. Saginaw built the units for GM. Ma Mopar built theirs in house. The design you see in the last rear...

Who takes three hundred and forty engines to a swap meet? I mean, I've seen guys bring 5 or 6 engines but three hundred and forty of them?

The moderators of this site get pissed when members chat about buying or selling items in the open forum. There are rules about that. The site requires members to post a Want To Buy ad in the sales section when they need a part. I didn't make the rules, that is just the way things are here. You...

This is the size that I like:

Yes I do.

It isn't a problem if you're sane and on the correct side.
