Can any of the power steering pumps work with the Borgeson box that came stock in 1969 A bodies by using adapters or different hoses?

You can always us a wheel spacer to center it in the wheel well. Not ideal but a quality spacer should be fine.

I believe that is a seam from the factory. Original factory welding was not the greatest on these k frames. You should redo all the factory welds and add gussets around the tubes where the lower control arms bolt to the kframe. Firm Feel self a pre made gusset kit to reinforce the kframe...

Bergman is a good shop to deal with and a regular contributor on this site.

I changed out the shaft in a column from a power shaft to manual shaft in a 69 Barracuda column in the past so you can go the opposite way.

You can ask Hotchkis to swap the a-arms for their small ball joint arms. The large ball joint is what they include in kits as a start as they assume people want the large ball joint to go with the disc brakes and 4.5 bolt pattern. I spoke to them 6 months ago about this and the tech rep said...

A related question. Will the 69 steering pump bolt up to a 1970 and later small block engine with the revised timing cover and water pump using the 1970 and up pump brackets? Wondering if I can make this work or if I need the 1970 up pump and hoses to match the bracket placement.

Thank you both. I am all set.

Would anyone know the weight of one A Body leaf spring? Does not matter which one. Just trying to get a reasonable estimate. Thanks

You can also ream out your 1972 spindles to the large ball joint size. RMS did this for someone else I know that bought their arms. Ask them. You can also buy a 7 degree reamer or have a machinist modify them for you.

Anyone have these MP springs on their car so we can see how look installed (arch, stance, ...)?

I used the long MP shocks for on my mini tubbed SS springed Dart. Worked well. There are others that offer adjustability. Make sure you get enough extension.

That would work but the larger knuckles use different brake rotors. You can have your knuckle machined to accept the larger ball joint.

Did it not come with its own k frame mounts?

Have a pair of spindles which I believe are 73-76 A Body disc brake spindles. Casting numbers are 776-23258 and 777-23258. Can anyone confirm whether these are disc brake or drum brake spindles and if from a 73 or later vehicle? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. So to summarize, when I change to the 70 water pump I will also need - a 70 waterpump - a 70 power steering pump mounting bracket - 70 water pump pulley and crank pulley - thicker alternator spacers to clear the thicker water pump casting - radiator with the rad...

Im not sure, but it looks like you might need to change ps pump and or bracket. Does your water pump look like the one in this link(4th pic in)http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/...highlight=pump Yes the pumps look like the ones in the link you posted. The top being the ones in my...

Any one have any information?

Is there a difference in the power steering reservoir mounting bracket that attaches to the water pump between the 1969 small block (drivers side lower rad hose water pump) and the bracket used on a 1970 up small block (passenger side lower rad hose water pump). Here is a picture of a 1969...

You should be able to get the 5 leaf springs in +1" as well to allow for the future sag or get that slight lift look in the mean time.

ESPO will give you a recommendation for a stock replacement if you call them. If you are leaving the car stock with the 6 I would go for the 5 leaf spring.

Good addition to stiffen up your chassis.

I need to replace my upper control arms as the ball joint threads are badly stripped. Are the 1969 upper arms all the same - disc brake or drum brake?

Here are a couple of web sites that talk of the strut arm issue with poly bushings. The poly bushings can be cut thinner if needed. http://users.erols.com/mathewg/bushings.html http://www.firmfeel.com/adjstrut.htm

These 2 links describe the possible issues you may ave and the suggested fixes. As mentioned earlier in this thread trimming the strut bushings can be one possible solution. If you also used poly strut bushings they may need trimming. http://www.firmfeel.com/adjstrut.htm...

I purchased a kit from them a few years ago. It came with Energy Suspension and McQuay Norris components. The kit was complete and the shipping was prompt.

I went with the ESPO +1" on my Barracuda. There was a thread in the summer that discussed this in some detail. Just go back to the older threads in this section.
