Electric Power Steering Install - Slant Six Forum above is a link to the post on the same subject that I put up at .org the Jan 28 2023 post has photos that show how I welded straps on the existing OE collar that holds the steering column up and in place. I drilled and threaded holes into the...

Drove the 68 Barracuda out of the garage today, with Electric Power Steering! I used the kit from EPAS, I know that some folks are improvising units from salvage yards, but I was wanting an engineered solution for this install. I have used pull a part components many times, just not this time...

When you say the motor blocks the floor vent, do you mean it blocks the ram air box vent that is by the driver side kick panel?

And that is the issue with with doing a mod that is based on hacks applied to salvage yard parts. Tech support is limited. A couple of ideas 1) try sending a pm to the guy that started this post back in 2016 2) look around on line for a wiring diagram for a 2009 Prius and verify that the wiring...

By being unsuccessful on drilling the broken bolt out, are you saying and is the photo showing a broken drill bit in the stuck bolt? if so that did make the fix a little tougher. Try to find a local mopar restoration shop. I am thinking the fix will be something like: 1) opening up the side of...

I would get the car up on a lift and do a complete review of the existing front and rear suspension and underbody for: wear and corrosion. If you see items there that need attention that may impact your priority list. As far suspension improvements, new and better modern shocks can make a big...

I got a power steering fluid cooler off a Dodge Ram at the pull a part. Plumbed it in line with the power steering return line on my 83 D150.

On the end of the bar, where the clip is, there may be some grime & grease in the way. Each bar will have a 3 diget number. Right side even Left side odd IIRC.

Years ago, in the 60’s that is when shocks got changed out, they started leaking at the piston seal. So there would be oil or dampness running down the lower tube. Todays shocks are much better for that.

Maybe I gave him something to come back at me with. Let me say it this way 'when you wrestle with pigs, you get dirty, and the pig enjoys it' In our discussion only one of us chose to use foul language, name calling and a generally abusive tone. That points in the direction of who the pig is...

It is interesting that some argue that Loctite 660 is not appropriate to use to hold a wheel bearing race in place because it will never hold up, and others argue that it is inappropriate to use as an unknowing person would never be able to get the race back out. Concerning the never being able...

and me , just a Professional Engineer with over 42 years experience in automotive casting-machining, engine assembly and engine test. Also did I mention, ASQ Certified Quality Auditor and Six Sigma Black Belt certifications. I think I know a little about: parts, problem identification and...

Hey Old Man, where is your son’s functional engineering assessment of the Loctite 660 ? You seem very interested in selling parts and services that put money in your pocket and much less interested in solutions that do not. Maybe you should add that as the disclaimer to your posts.

The Loctite product has test results performed to industry wide standards That indicate the product will perform satisfactory in the environments listed when used as directed. Please publish your test results, also performed to some industry standard that supports your position that it will...

Dude, there are links posted that go to the product page for Loctite 660. In about the same time it took you to post wrong information you could have educated yourself. Think about that the next time you are driving a car, that you worked on at highway speeds.

One would simply heat the race with a propane torch to approximately 450 F the Loctite would begin to release and the race could be knocked out like normal. Obviously a person that knows nothing about Loctite.

You forgot to mention, Your sons profit when he does the repair $100.00 Your sons profit when Loctite is used $0.00 Now have your son provide a functional engineering reason why Loctite 660 when used properly would not be an appropriate repair. That means that he would need to look at and read...

OldmanMopar Mentioning this for your information and education Loctite is not “glue”. Each Loctite product has a heat saturation point at which it will melt and release. That is so the parts held together with Loctite can be disassembled. The Loctite 660 is made specifically to fix bearing...

For the Loctite 660 to work well I am sure all mating surfaces would need to be dry and clean. The link below has Technical and Customer Service Hotline phone numbers, I am sure they would walk you through the best way to use the product to fix the issue with the loose race. Contact...

Tell me how you shave your tires to get then round within .010? And then keep then there. And while at that, tell me how the mechanical fit of the tire-wheel to the axel hub using a non precision center register and five conical acorn nuts that are tightened against studs that are basically...

Loctite has a product that is made for the exact issue that you are working with. Do a search for Loctite 660

The 68 Barracuda originally was a power steering car. When I got the car I bought a used Mopar manual 24:1 box, took it down and replaced everything internally except the screw and the caged rollers. The box worked ok, except that it had a dead-spot with a bit of play right in the center. Not...

I am guessing that the Mopar Engineers R&D was built around max power and traction back when they were testing. Fast forward to today, between tires, track traction compounds and available power, today it is a different game. There is information to be gleaned from what was done then, but...

It has been several years ago when I rebuilt the front end on my 68 Barracuda and I used the C body tie rods. The car also has the 73 and up front disks and steering knuckles. The tapered ends of the tie rods are the same so the C body tie rod ends fit into the knuckles and center link. I used C...

My 1968 Barracuda, automatic floor shift car, had been in storage from 1980 to my purchase in 2010 had a lower column bearing as shown in the 1968 FSM and mentioned in this posting. I replaced the factory lower column bearing with one of the ER16 bearing when I rebuilt the steering column in...

I have Bilstein shocks on my 68 Barracuda. Built Slant Six, 340 bars, subframe connectors, braced lower control arms, welded and braced K frame, tubular radiator support, Hotchkiss front sway bar, new ESPO rear springs. I have taken weight off the front of the car with: a fiberglass hood, a...

It’s all only time and money. It is likely that a modern tubular K frame would be stronger and lighter. However, for what you spend for a modern tube K frame, you could spend that same money on a nice MiG welder and a few hours at a vocational school that teaches welding. And for about the same...

The best advice that I can give is, to get good solid welds the K frame needs to be cleaned inside and out. Remember that chunk of iron has spent decades under the car under the engine. I took mine to a local shop that has a strip tank big enough to submerge stock car and sprint car chassis. The...

I think that Firm Feel has some good products, but they really cheap out on the K frame kit. Agree no instructions. I called their tech line. Eventually got a person on the phone to kind of walk me through where the pieces go. How hard would it be for them to provide a single page with photos...
