Okay, you know what I'm talkin' about. I graduated in 1975. Really hurts when I think back on what happened to so many great muscle cars back in the day. I can remember some really nice cars that met a very bad end.

The cam bolt does supply the offset in the factory design. The Moog offset upper control arm bushings just allow you to get more offset than the factory design can provide.

You seem to be the guy that would know. I plan to use the offset bushings. If I can get that much, can I get away with 3-4 degrees on the street, or should I maybe use a bit less? I've got an original 16:1 manual box I plan to put on my car, and plan to run about a 215 to 225/60 15 radial...

Don't know how old you are, but if you have grown up with newer cars then I would recommend a .920 or larger bar. JMO These cars tended to 'wallow" a bit when they were new. I had 340 bars on my car back in the day & I plan to go larger now.

While I don't like the idea of removing anything from an area like this I think you should be okay. You'll still have the complete weld at the attachment point & most of the stiffness of the bracket comes from the bend & you're also keeping that portion. JMO

Just wondering if anybody has actually used those camber bolts. The application info doesn't list them for any Mopar earlier than 1979. Do they actually work on A bodies?

Which SS springs are on your car right now?

What have you got for springs & torsion bars? If you're running lightweight/slant 6 type suspension you might want stiffer settings on the shocks just to stiffen things up a bit.

Yeah, but it seems like my kids are always killing the dang batteries in ours. I want to take a picture & either the kids have lost the camera or the batteries are dead. disgust

Just came in from my shop. The top of the spindle definitely angles toward the front of the car. This is on a set of 10" drum brakes from a '69 Formula S Barracuda.

I couldn't find a good picture but it looks like the lean or offset is to the front. The top of the spindle leans to the front of the car. I'll try to get out to my shop later & look. I have a set of 10" drum spindles installed on a car I can look at.

Automatic or manual trans? I've known people to run one with good sized tires and an auto trans & abuse it a bit. I had wide tires on my car behind my 273 with a 4 speed & broke the spider gears shifting from 1st to 2nd. You gotta' be somewhat nice to them.

Pretty sure those are an F body & later C body deal. Maybe others too, but don't think they were ever on an A body from the factory.

If somebody could post part numbers for the seals & bearings it would be nice. I hunted for a couple of years before I found my fast ratio manual box & I'd like to go through it before I put it in the car. I looked at the Rock Auto site but their descriptions are a bit vague. Part numbers...

It doesn't matter what kind of car you call about, she knows everything there is to know about it as far as the suspension goes. Definitely knows her stuff. :iconbigg:

Somebody posted a picture a couple of days ago of a Dart with a Dana 60 that had offset rear springs & 3" pipes over the axle & out to the rear bumper. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=137003

Are both torsion bars adjusted evenly? Is there a chance the adjuster for that side has less load on it than the other side?

They mention a different part number for cars needing the other ball joint.

First I would contact PST & ask them for instructions. They are a vendor on FABO. If they can't help, I'm not positive but I've heard that they sell ADDCO sway bars. You might try searching the web for the ADDCO site & comparing pics or part numbers (if you have any) with what they show to...

I've dealt with springs & things on more than one occasion. Very helpful people.

When I first bought my Barracuda I took it in to have it aligned. Left it for half a day. Went to get it & the guy hadn't done anything. He said "I just can't get my hands in there on those little Plymouths." If they were't going to do it why did they make the appointment? Or why didn't...

Idler should be the same. Not sure about the pitman arm. My Federal-Mogul book doesn't list them for some reason

Well, If you don't use them & just mount your springs solid to the frame your rear springs will bind up. So NOT using them would be a disadvantage. But that's probably not what you meant. If you're asking about using longer ones to raise the rear of the car, yes there are disadvantages...

Yes, you have to remove the spacer.

What color is the dash pad?

Thank you! :thumleft: Sorry. It's just one of my pet peeves. My kids are in high school and I see so much of this stuff on line & everywhere else it seems. Even some of the teachers can't write, punctuate or spell. They bring home school announcements with terrible grammatical &...

I refuse to read this sentence. Punctuation is my friend. :thumleft:

There was an article in one of the Mopar magazines a few months back & it was discussed some here. It involved shimming something, I think in the steering box (I'm not a power steering guy) that increased the "road feel" & reduced the power assist of the box. It was pretty simple as I recall.

I figured it was because he said it was on jackstands but you're right. It needs to have the weight off of the front suspension.
