Dammmit! Had a feeling. Guess I’ll add it to the “one day” list and deal with it lol. Thanks as always for the help.

I have a 69 Dart with factory power steering. I can move the steering wheel back and forth about 4-5” without any movement in the wheels. With wheels in the air, I can see the input steering coupler move with the steering wheel however the pitman arm does not move at all within this slop range...

Thanks for the replies. Think I got it. Should have the 727 100% back together tomorrow.

I have .150 clearance on my high speed drum with the wavy snap ring in (.050). I have a 4 disc setup so going for .048 (.012 each disc). Even if I go with a .106 flat ring I’ll be at .094 clearance. How can I make this up now? I read I can use one of my old steels between the pressure plate...

Could have swore I had a post going about this but can’t find it. I ordered part #4222731 kind of on the fly and it is too small. Does anyone know of a plug that will fit a 1.25” opening? Pics attached.

Looking for an antenna delete plug #4222731

Going to roll with the diagram in post #8 except for the master switch being located in the rear most part of the car I will install a switch somewhere in cab for more of a security feature. Running 1/0 welding cable for the pos/neg to relays and to the starter. #4 welding cable to alternator...

Awesome information thank you. I sprayed the metal steering column with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator matte black, the rear seat upper metal trim with both DupliColor Caliper paint and Krylon self etching primer. Also used the caliper paint on the plastic door arm rest mounts. I think there was...

Think I’m just going to strip it all then use thinners and wax/grease remover. What a pain

This is the 2nd time I’ve attempted painting interior parts, first one was the steering column, and the same thing happens. I believe it’s fish eyeing but don’t know for sure. It’s done it with 3 different spray paint types on 3 different parts. I sanded all the parts down, wiped them well with...

Found this wiring diagram by a member here. What is the “Switched power source”that controls the alternators continuous duty relay?

Ah gotcha, so I could do another wire from the line side of the Ford solenoid to the engine bay starter relay?

I want to put the battery in the trunk and want a disconnect in cab for security purposes. I am not worried about NHRA guideline but…. if I went this route could I just add a master disconnect to the line side of the Ford relay to be within NHRA guidelines down the road?

What did you use to cut the holes for the white tabs?

Got the window and vent frame out. Wasn’t too horrible. Talk about a can of worms though. Good opportunity to really clean everything up good. Will probably order some new cat whiskers and give the interior side of the door a fresh coat of black.
