Hooked up enough of the harness to make it run. The vacuum leak is from using bolts to plug hoses. Not sure why it's missing when revved.

Not much. I took what I needed and sold the rest.

If anyone is wanting to remove the power steering pump from a Magnum and still use the factory brackets and serpentine belt, it can be done with some research. 90's Dakotas could be ordered without power steering and air conditioning. There is a part number for that belt, but it was discontinued...

Had a few minutes to get a picture of the torsion bar end. Here's what is on it. I also looked up my PST order from April 2020. The are 1.03" bars. I have a hard time believing they measured .110" bigger in diameter than advertised. Maybe they're rated by spring rate equivalent to a 1.03" bar?

I'll have to look. I'll let you know.

Thanks for the information. To be honest, I don't remember what website or company I bought the torsion bars from, and the box wasn't marked. Google shows that PST makes 1.12" bars for A bodies, and that's probably what these are with 0.020" of powder coating. I looked on BAC's site at the RCD...

The car didn't ride too bad on the super stocks. You could tell the spring rate was higher on the rear compared to the stock front torsion bars. I took the first, shortest leaf out of the spring pack before I put the springs on the car. It looks like it sits level, haven't measured the rear ride...

"Looks great except for the KYB's. Those will be absolutely atrocious with 1.14" bars if that's what you've got there, I thought PST only made 1.03's. Either way the KYB's are awful. I ran them on my Challenger with 1.12" bars and when I swapped them out for Bilsteins it was like a whole new...

Thanks for all of the discussion and advice on this. I found the quickener on Facebook Marketplace in upstate NY. The guy is shipping it Monday and that saves me a 6 hour round trip from Harrisburg, PA. My next question would be, should the quickener be before the EPAS unit or after? I wanted...

Yes, years ago I manual steering swapped a '73 Scamp with a 318. I used 24:1 and the column from a Duster. The Scamp drove fine, and I don't remember it being it being to difficult to maneuver or park. I am upgrading the electrical system with a complete harness and charging system from a '94...

Thanks for posting this. I had read your post about having a 16:1 box with larger tires in a different thread and I understand the amount of effort that would require. I plan on using a Toyota Prius EPAS unit. I haven't had time to make the parts and modifications to my steering column yet. I'll...

That was my concern, being too responsive.

I have a '71 Dart Swinger and am in the process of replacing my front suspension with QA1 and PST parts. The car originally had power steering and I'm swapping it out for a 24:1 manual steering box. The plan was to convert to electric power steering and get a 16:1 manual steering box from PST...

Video of it running. In the first seconds of the video, you can hear it misfire out the exhaust. The distributor and carb were on the original 318 and didn't do that before.

Finally made some progress pulling the 318 that was in my car. No matter how careful I am, I manage to make a mess. She's in there like swim wear. I know the electric fuel pump needs to be close to the gas tank. This is set up to test run it. These headers fought me every step of the way...
