    Questions on recent alignment

    I also just noticed on rock auto they have eccentric bolts and washers and some say plus or minus 2.25 degrees. Is this just a stock replacement or do they add more adjustment then factory eccentric? If it's a stock replacement why do I have a full degree less available to play with.

    Questions on recent alignment

    The car pulls the same amount weather I'm on the freeway or the street. I too would like it to be totall straight on freeway and deal with crowned road. My main concern with my first post is do I really only have 1.3 caster total, and it seems everyone agrees it's totally possible with normal...

    Questions on recent alignment

    If you read it.. it clearly says I mentioned it was originally aligned with old tires. Which had a bad tire that caused the car to pull hard right. So I swapped the 2 fronts and it pulled slightly left proving I had a bad tire. So bought brand new tires had them instaled and it pulls slightly...

    Questions on recent alignment

    I guess drift. Steering wheel.doesn't seem to turn as it pulls right. But if I hold my slightly off center3d wheel straight it drives straight (with old tires when it pulled slightly left the steerING wheel was still cocked to the right, so the steering wheel is off only because it wasn't...

    Questions on recent alignment

    I don't understand... so you rather always pull the wheel left because your car wants to drive into the curb? I'd like to be able to let go of the wheel for whatever reason and not worry about hitting the car next to me or driving up the sidewalk? There's no other way to compensate for the...

    Questions on recent alignment

    Just used that chart and with tire size 24.9" diameter it's .043 total. Definitely not enough I'll have to mention it when I go back. I guess I may have to live the caster. Maybe the correct toe in will help the stability some. The offset is actually .6 degrees. It's .7 on one side and 1.3 on...

    Questions on recent alignment

    Manual steering. Pull not coming from pump. Also with caster offset it drives almost straight on highway. Pulls slightly right. It's not half a degree of toe. It's .05 each side or .1 total. The offset bushings I never would have thought I would have needed them as it seems the guys who mention...

    65 plymouth valiant. I had an alignment done and I'm wondering about the specs they did.

Nos idler, new wheel...

    Water pump with a freeze plug

    From flow koolers website Does a drip from the weep hole mean seal or pump failure? Perhaps. Seals will drip as the seal lap in but to understand a more prolonged or intermittent “drip” you have to understand a seal’s design. Seals purposefully drip because capillary action draws fluid from...

    Water pump with a freeze plug

    Via phone from water pump division manager of Gates. It's called a weep chamber. Supposedly water pumps will always leak a little passed the seals to lubricate and cool. Instead of the coolant dripping it collects in the chamber and evaporates as motor heats up. Strange I've never seen a brand...

    Water pump with a freeze plug

    Hello. Just picked up a gates 43026p water pump (passenger side hose) for my 66 a100. It's a 8 blade with cavitation plate. I noticed it had a freeze plug in it. The stock picture doesn't show a freeze plug. Seems like every water pump has a hole in the shaft housing instead of this freeze plug...

    I jumped the battery to alternator with a small gauge wire. Not sure if it was too small to Make a difference on the ignition prong of regulator? Is there specific set of wires that affect this voltage drop?

    Alternator help

    Just installed the new regulator. At first it didn't help. The battery was reating weak on the tester I let it charge all day yesterday. Now I drove to the shop with no issues. Volt meter reads 12.90 - 13v on the alternator at idle. And when I Rev it, it seems to stop at around 15.40v I tried...

    Alternator help

    Battery is brand new. Couple month's old. This seems to be working backwards than I would think.. I'm not big into electrical.I thought by bypassing the regulator, and alternator capable of 15v the regulator would be at fault? But I guess not. So if alternator is bad. Is it possible to hook up...

    Alternator help

    Negative of battery to housing of regulator was .01 - .02v. Took off field wire and jumped to battery positive. At idle it was reading 12.65ish and when reved, I was able to get it to 15v and it would still climb.

    filler neck modification

    I finally got around to ordering one of these flappers. Installed today. I broke 4 tabs off the top. Left the 3 centers intact. Tweaked the 3 top tabs and bottom tabs to make the piece smaller in diameter. Inserted the top half first then bottom so it sits at an angle. Used a mallet and screw...
