Manual...what's the procedure for tightening? thanks

Well, I am just about done with my 68 Barracuda. The only thing I did not touch on the whole car was the steering. I finally had an opportunity to run it up and down the road yesterday and you guessed it. I am not going to be happy with that steering. What are you guys doing to tighten them...

I think you are referring to the torsion bar adjusting bolts. Yes, they will change your ride height. There are specs as to how far you can go. My experience is you need to take the weight off of the bolt before you try to change it. I have also had luck adjusting it side to side to level...

In an early post on this board I asked "At what hp level do you need the subframe connector" and I got a reply that said..."If you put a 5 hp briggs and stratton in it you need them"

thanks Adam....that is what I was thinking of doing also. Did you get an extra set of plates with yours? what did you do with them?

I bought a set of sub frame connectors for the 68 barracuda from Mancini. The drivers side looks like it mounts over the hole that the E-Brake cable goes through. Anybody have any experience here? thanks

i follow most of what you'resaying but not sure all of it. I was just thinking, what if I put lower strut rod bushing in backwards....does that move my wheel forward or rearward?

I have seen several posts which talk about ride height with regard to front tire clearance. Do you raise or lower the ride height to gain front wheel clearance? My first instinct was to raise it but di to the contour of the wheel opening in the fender, i am wondering if you should lower it.

what's the diameter of the 205/45R17?

Dave, what size fronts are you running?

i was happy with the ssbc kit. I had a couple issue but i am not sure if it is their problem or just the common things you run into in these situations. My exisiting cragar SS wheels hit the caliper after install so i had to run a wheel spacer. now this. These are not the wheels and tires i...

i did the ssbc conversion kit. Good point on the backspacing....i didn't think of that. (that's why I love this site)

Adam, do you have drums or disc? I am wondering if my disc brake conversion causes my wheels to sit wider now. As I said, I had to put a wheel spacer in. The outside lip of the tire catches on the fender opposite the direction of turn. i.e. if i turn right, the drivers side outside lip hits.

i tried raising it and lowerer it and it doesn/t seem to matter. I confused here.

i posted this in the tires section also because I don't know if it is a tire question or a suspension problem: I did a disc brake conversion and rebuilt the front suspension. (new ball joints, bushing etc,) Now my front wheels hit my front fender when I turn. I haven't had the front end...

help me out....which way does this bushing go in? This is the front strut rod bushing.

Help me out, I just did one side and I have the other to do. I put the cone end (top in this picture) thought the K member pushing it in from front to back. In other words the top of this picture is facing the rear of the car but was pushed through from the front. My thought here was that...

I was thinking, why couldn't we start a tool swap on this board for specialty tools. I am part way through a front end rebuild. I bought a tie rod puller and a ball joint separator. (not pickle forks) They made the job so easy it was almost enjoyable. Now I still wish I had the ball joint...

funny, thats what I have been working on all weekend. upper control arms for my 68 Barracuda FB. Anyone got any tricks for getting the old cam bolts out. I twisted the nuts off of all 4 of them. One side, I got one to drive out and i had to torch the other out. I am over to the other side...

thanks guys, i ordered them from nAPA...they'll be here tomorrow

thanks guys, your the best! Adam, what did you use for a search on that napaonline? I tried numerous times last night and I couldn't find a thing. The have been many time I haven't been able to find somthing only to go to the local store and they have it. I put in my car I searched cam...

hey, when you get a chance if you have the part number handy i'd take it. Sometimes the guys behind the counter don't know what they're doing. Thanks

Well I ruined both upper control arm cam bolts today removing the a arms. what is the best place to get these? I don't have alot of time to shop around so you input is appreciated. thanks

should the rubber bumper be touching the body? what's the third hole you refer to? I am loking at buying one on ebay that only has 2 bolt holes. Would that be the wrong one. The one I took off my 7.25 rear only had 2 bolt holes but it is too small to fit my 8.75 that's going in.

how do you adjust a pinion snubber? when the car is a reat should the snubber be snug or shoudl there be a gap?
