Oooh, 1973dust, you're tempting me to try that..... I like that alignment tip, I think I have bolts that'll work (I'll cut). Question: I'm draining the coolant, I was thinking a couple gallon should be sufficient. Will the coolant drain out of the manifold sufficiently or should I do...

I never get hurt doing something cool. It's always something stupid, like picking up the laundry basket

...wheels in the centered straight ahead position we found approx. 1 1/2 turns left from center position and 1 turn right. I'm guessing the alignment shop just aligned it without regard to the steering box centerline. I agree with adjusting the tie rods to get it centered. It is a stock steering...

...just fine). Drove great for an old car, and much improved from manual steering. Seemed to track just fine. I may just take it to the alignment shop so they can put finishing touches on it if they can, then if it results in steering wheel cocked a bit, just reset it at the coupler. New...

Runs great once fired up, temps get to 210 and fall to 190-210 seeming regardless of the situation I've put it in so far. Have about 100-150 miles on the motor First starter was a generic mini for a 93 Dakota then moved to the MSD DynaForce. No changes to how it cranked hot or cold.

That sounds about the distance an out of alignment clutch disc would hold it off. Did you use a clutch alignment tool when you assembled the clutch?

Save yourself an emergency trip and just take it to the shop and let them bend them if they are off a lot. Are you sure you got the right core? Same as the one that came out? Bring both (original and new) and for like $25 they can fix you up.

And the money pit continues getting deeper... Got the Dutra Duals and Gill Welding Alignment Bar today! EDIT - A FEW HOURS LATER....

I own and have used my Fastrax alignment tool to align several cars with great success. The biggest drawback however is that I can not watch the changes to both caster and camber as I make them and the 2 upper eccentrics to adjust both caster and camber is causing my brain to overheat. Is...

...straight. If they are I would remove steering wheel and straighten it. If it's a non stock wheel with no keyway. If tires aren't straight, then turn your tie rods evenly to center. You should center steering box before aligning. I had to move my steering wheel after alignment (aftermarket Grant).

If you can find an alignment shop that does work for body shops, those guys are usually pretty good. They have to get collision repaired vehicles within spec or the insurance companies will not pay the body shop for the repairs. We have a body shop and alignment techs at my shop. Insurance...

That’s an easy to look at thing. I just went through this exact issue.

Assume you mean the double-adjustable SPC's from Bergman's. I got those from him for the avatar and 2nd the recommendation wholeheartedly! Been on the car over a year. They do not require retightening - just dial in the alignment numbers you want and go. Love'm!

First thing is to replace any loose parts, so the idler arm needs to go before anything else. Did the alignment guy give you a printout of the specs As it is now?

I had a Mr Gasket chrome dipstick years ago. Yaaaa it leaked but it was pretty doing it.

The stuff in the picture, Was this used as a pair? or is it just stuff? Where's the alignment dowel for the block? If you need to have that drain plug accessible and balance weight is an issue, then make 2 holes opposite to each other, as in 180* apart.

I lucked out so much they were only a 7 minute drive from my house. I saw these Chinese specials https://www.amazon.com/8MILELAKE-Truck-Front-Wheel-Alignment/dp/B07JP91QWH/?tag=fabo03-20

...crankshaft and make sure it is true to the block. The height of the clutch fork bracket is also incprrect. Lastly, keep and eye on the bell crank bracket. They are thin and tend to fold up over time. If everything is lined up to the crank centerline that leaves disc alignment as your culprit.

Hey, i tried to steer the back on track with a post about chrome. No luck, this thread needs a front end alignment? I tried.... now I can't get The Song by Queen out my head. Fat Bottom Girls. Help! Stop Making me think. It hurts when I do.

383 auto, 69 fastback, really nice car too. SE Michigan!

I'm going this same direction on my '75 Duster (383, 727 & 8 3/4) and will be relying heavily on the Big Block A body tech forum to get me through the swap. Motor currently has elephant ears, as it was in a '70 Duster drag car, but I'm thinking schumacher mounts to help with alternator alignment.

I am Using a tensioner.

i might have an armrest. shoot me a PM

Hopefully I can make it Saturday or Sunday. Looking for parts for a 65 Dart gt convertible. Looking for alignment bolt that on the header of the top (the whole header would be nice), Header seal retainer, and passenger armrest. If anyone has those please let me know.

I had the calipers front mounted on my '70 Charger but wanted to run the rear mount and the later FMJ 2.75" single piston caliper so I swapped the knuckles side to side. Of course it all swapped and fit right and the alignment didn't change enough to feel it. It still drove and felt the same to me.

Any update on the Valiant making it back to the track?

...have to reason it out. Caster will change, but you want to try to move the arms inward equal amounts front and back to not completely bobo the alignment. On the other hand, it sounds like the alignment is bad enough that you should probably measure all the specs and start from scratch. Up to you.

...of offset. For most caster, the front is offset out and the back is offset in. After you've installed them it's a done deal and all further adjustments are made by twisting the cam bolt. The alignment process does not change, but you will have more caster for any given position of the cam bolts.

These are spacers, not bushings. Since you have a mixture of non-factory parts, you will need to trim the spacers to allow proper belt alignment.

I asked my friend who is very successful at Stock, and Superstock, he says in all the years he has never checked a Mopar Auto for alignment. 4 speeds are another matter, I needed offset dowels for my QuickTime bell.
