20 years ago I swapped a Cummins Turbodiesel into my 75 Dodge B300 van. Because of the radiator I used there was no room left for the van's original vacuum brake booster. I ended up using a hydroboost from a Chevy P30 van. I used the stock Saginaw pump that came on the diesel. It worked just...

How many miles are on it and why is it being scrapped?

I put .940 dia. Firm Feel bars in my 67 Cuda, still has a nice, not harsh ride quality and much better handling.

I put Bilsteins on my car, like them a lot. I got mine from FirmFeel. The KYBs have too much gas in them I think. Using my bathroom scale I got a reading of 100lb. before they deflected at all which would contribute to ride harshness. Doing the same thing with the Bilsteins I got a scale...

I put mine in boiling water for a couple minutes. Made them real pliable. However, I think the ones I had were polyurethane, they came with the Firm Feel torsion bars I bought.

Those shocks were made by Gabriel, I used to work for them, I know them when I see them. They are a basic shock, nothing special, better than worn out old ones. I put Bilsteins on my car, I'm really happy with the handling and ride quality they deliver. The Bilsteins are expensive but I...

The KYBs have a lot of gas pressure which contributes to the harshness. Bilsteins have a lower pressure. I bought KYBs to put on my 67 Cuda but after feeling how stiff they were and then measuring the gas load I decided to not use them and bought Bilsteins. Besides new shocks I put Firmfeel .94...

The Bilsteins sold by Firm Feel and others I think are originally for a different application and are modified to fit an A-body by ACD. I say this because I bought a set for my car and after looking closely at them that's the conclusion I came to. I don't have a problem with that, what I think...

Any shock with gas in it will extend back out if you collapse it. Some gas shocks have more gas than others. The higher the pressure is it's more likely the ride quality will be harsher. I had bought a set of KYB shocks to put on my 67 Cuda. Before installing them I pushed on one of them and it...

Does anyone know if a 340 p/s pump has a larger diameter pulley than other applications? I was looking at pumps for sale in the mechanical parts for sale column and a pump advertised as being off a 340 looks like it had a larger diameter pulley than a non 340 pump. Since a 340 would probably rev...

Last night I put new upper ball joints in my 67 cuda. One side tightened up real good and the other did not, it feels like it is stripping. It was not real tight in the first place, unscrewed without a lot of effort. Should I replace the uca or can I tackweld the balljoint in? Another used uca...

Regarding the Made in USA versus the Made in China Moog parts, do the parts have USA or China on the part itself or just on the box? After following this post I went and looked at some Moog balljoints I bought recently, it says made in USA on the box but not on the part. I also recently...

After following this thread I went out to the garage to check out some Moog lower balljoints I bought from Rockauto to use when installing Kelseyhayes front discs on my 67 Barracuda. The boxes say made in USA but does not on the part. It also says FederalMogul in small print on the end of the...

Yes, I have a 67 Cuda vert. Bought it in April, got it on the road in August, have put a little over 500 miles on it so far, like it a lot. I'm real familier with the world of shock absorbers, I worked in the engineering lab of a shock manufacturer for years. I already bought a set of KYB...

I read through the recent thread started by Snake and it answered some questions but raised others. I looked at the PST website about the 1.03 bars and it said that the position of the hex was turned slightly to lower ride height and that you could not adjust it enough to bring it to stock ride...
