It may also come down to what each enthusiast prefers. I prefer to impress myself. Yeah, suspension upgrades are not as visible as a paint job or a rebuilt engine but they sure do make the car better overall. I spent almost 20 years with a car that had to comply with state emission regulations...

Uhhh... "Dum-Dum" is absolutely not an official term for Seam Sealer.

Sometimes it isn't a matter of not having the money. I know that when I have paid more than I'm comfortable with, it feels like I just validated an inflated price. That empowers the seller. If the public resists buying based on high prices, the vendors either reduce prices if they can or go out...

Thanks. There are a lot of people that speak ghetto with no shame, as if speaking in crappy, bastardized English gives them street cred or something.

No, I'll make whatever comments that I want to make. Feel free to IGNORE me. I stand by what I wrote. FIVE hundred dollars is way too much money. Did you really laugh out loud? Really ? Also....is your sense of humor broken? If you are comfortable paying that much for parts, good for you...

What is a fincess ??

FIVE hundred dollars for a pair of torsion bars is a butt rape.

When I get motivated to revisit this, I’ll see if there is a way to make it work. I set these large ball joint UCAs aside just to save them for some future project. I thought I was going to be able to make use of those small ball joint arms. I convert everything to the later disc setup so the 3...

The lower ball joints were fine so I just cleaned them up and used new grease boots from PST/Kanter. I did put washers in between the ball joints and knuckles to increase negative camber. The tie rod ends all have cracked grease boots. Two tie rod ends are sort of sticky in movement so...

Someone must have been able to make this work though, right? Cass has had this kit available for years. It seems that if it didn’t work, he wouldn’t be selling it. I saw this as a cheap way to make use of UCAs that I’d otherwise not need. For a moment, I thought that maybe they were not intended...

I thought I had it figured out. Seasoned, used 73-76 Disc A body UCAs go for at least $125 a pair around here. Tubular aftermarket ones are well over $400 so I thought I was smart by buying the adapter setup from Dr Diff for a measly fifty bucks or so. I had several pairs of the 64-76 small...

The front end rebuild continues. I had some help yesterday from FABO member @RBConvert We got the control arms and knuckles in. The sway bar end links are too. I mounted the knuckles to place the calipers to the rear. I went back and decided to use the disc brake control arms that were on...

You fixed it ??

Dang....I am SO Caucasian. Thanks !!

I have the MP version of that cam in a standard bore 1978 360. It sure runs strong even with stock valve springs. The heads are the #308s, I have dual 2 1/4" exhaust and a Holley 750.
