    Question regarding order of steering shaft seals - 1964 Valiant

    I looked over a few fsm's and tried to figure this out for certain, but was slightly confused by one piece. I've pictured the front and back of all of the steering column seal components I have. The only seal that is confusing me is the one I already have installed on the middle black...

    Question regarding proper installation of upper shock bushing and torque

    Been searching around and having trouble confirming two pieces of information. Quick information, I removed my shocks and noticed that it was using a two piece upper shock bushing and had the incorrect ID, in turn allowing about 1/4" of 360 degree motion in the shock mount itself. This worried...

    can you believe it? another torsion bar question?? 1.03" vs 1.08"

    I.... wow.. this was exactly what I needed to hear.. and I believe I've seen this reply from you in a couple other places. I remember specifically the sway kit name and honestly coming from certain drift/grip setups, 2 degrees of camber is NICE. I could take that. I would love to run a wider...

    can you believe it? another torsion bar question?? 1.03" vs 1.08"

    exactly the one I was thinking of, and in fact a little scared to utter his name given the numerous amount of times he's had to go over this with other's lol. swayaway also makes a 1.14 and 1.2, but I don't think I'll want to deal with the 1.24"s... maybe by that point just have welded on some...

Very detailed replies as well...

    also just as an aside, it was nice to find out recently about the degree of clocking both companies do so as to retain ride height etc in relation to the original zero clocked design. cool little mental note for me to remember. -kiyoshi

    can you believe it? another torsion bar question?? 1.03" vs 1.08"

    Yes. Before you ask, yes, I looked. In fact being autistic.. I've probably spent far too many DAYS total researching this... but just can't come to a solid conclusion. So lets cut to the chase: '64 valiant with 5.9 360 in it. Planning on tracking/ time attack eventually. Most information I see...

    just need a quick confirmation on my idiocy

    Thank you for this as well, I was looking in to some other videos regarding small block mopar timing etc and came across these exact tips as well regarding finding exactly where the points break, as well as setting initial to maybe 10ish btdc for a smoother initial start. I haven't cranked yet...

    straight edge was a little off, was hard to get in the bay but looked as close as I could get it (was going degrees of a turn with the hex oil pump priming tool to try to get it to align as best as possible to driver front intake bolt) reclocked distributor, this is what everyone is referring...
