    Bottom collar for 4 speed key out function - auto to manual conversion

    I find myself in need of a bottom collar for a 4 speed. I am ok to convert one of the multiple bottom collars if I knew what was needed beyond cutting the shifter hand off and filling it. My '74 has the finger lever to turn the collar and unlock the key so it can be removed, but all of the...

    Coil over preload??? What am I misunderstanding?

    The Questionable Garage is doing a Demon build for all 3 of Holley's Grand Champion challenges using 3 different motors (Hemi, LS, Coyote) but the same car. Pretty cool idea, I like it. He is using a QA1 coil over conversion kit, which completely makes sense to me with his 3 motor criteria...

    UCA bolt orientation

    Is there a preferred direction to install the UCA adjusting bolts? I have a 74 FSM and there doesn’t appear to be a diagram for the V,L lines. And I searched on here and came up blank. I installed them in a way that made sense to me, but seems like each has their pluses and minuses, so...

    QA1 UCA and 17x8 wheels?

    When running an OEM 17x8 off a mid 90’s Mustang (30mm offset?), one issue has been the zerk fitting on the upper balljoint. Looking at the QA1 tubular upper control arm design has me wondering if these parts would make it impossible to run the cheap wheels I have. Anybody done so? QA1 52301...
