    Need Parts and advise to change manuel steering to Power on Dart GTS 69

    You can get the power steering gearbox from any A-body for sure, but the pitman arm may have to be changed for your particular car. You will also need a power steering column, either column shift or floor shift, depending on what set-up you have. Also needed would be the power steering pump and...

    Torsion bar removal

    Burntorange70, I too have found that hitting your hand with a hammer will hurt a lot. Good sound adVISE...vise grips that is. I've done it that way a few times and you need just a little prayer to the Mopar Gods before starting to loosen up the LCA end...oh, and mention the hammer thing too...

    Car goes sideways?

    I don't think the suregrip is the problem. My 67 GTX does this when I "break traction" and wants to skate in the other lane. I just dial it back and check the looks on their faces when you drive by!!! Could be any number of factors, but I would say it's all external, as my car doesn't do it...

    k frame

    The K frame is the name given to the K shaped saddle that the motor bolts into. I'm sure your car has one unless there is no front suspension under it whatsoever as some of the front suspension parts also bolt to it. FYI, nowadays there is no need to change the K frame to swap engines as...

    How bad did I drop the ball?

    I'm with the others pharmboy, with one exception. Instead of letting him call the price for all the hassle he has caused you, go in there when it's moveable and tell him how much YOU are going to give HIM for the crappy way he has treated you, for all the time lost and trouble involved, and for...

    Metal Fatigue points in A bodies

    The area around where the door latch bolts to the door on the early A bodies always seems to be stress cracked around the screw holes. I fixed mine, then went on the lookout for an undamaged door for my 66 Cuda, and every door i found was cracked in this area, especially the drivers door. All...

    How bad did I drop the ball?

    How the heck do you snap a torsion bar taking it out. I have removed more than my share of them, sometimes they slide right out, sometimes they have to be beat out with a clampdown torsion bar remover, and if its from a junk car I'll even cut them in half with a die grinder. But never, NEVER...
