71 Duster 360 (new project)

Burst of energy....

Saturday morning got Brand new steering box on Demon...need to do some minor work on steering column and get it bolted back in...

Have not see a box as tight as this one since I was 16........

Was attempting to change out springs Saturday morning but could not find the valve seals I know I had...I need some kind of inventory control...dam....finally late in the afternoon took a second look...and just did not open the right box in the morning..

Changed out hughes 1111 valve springs on 71 Dart with hughes cnc heads...had to get that shim they use off the heads which required the seal to come off...so i replaced all the seals too...check the valve height and put some new shims to get to the 1.80 spring height as the Pac springs want.

Got 15 of them done last night...quit on cylinder 8 exhaust valve...spring compressor was hitting coil on firewall...got that last one done this morning after getting the coil out of the way.....pushrods and rockers back on ...just need to adjust valves ...and fire engine..
