    Can I use a floor shift upper (part right under steering wheel) manual column on a column shift ( below the rotating part with the lever) lower power column to make a floor shift power steering column? I have both and was hoping I could mix n match them to make what I need. Sorry I this is...

    Bent frame????

    So I have noticed over time that the drivers side of the front of my Barracuda seems higher than the passenger side even though the k member seems to be level. It does not look like it has ever been hit but at the center of the wheel arch it is almost 3/4 inch higher. Any thoughts? Build...

    Power steering box with no power

    I have an odd question. Can you use a power steering "chuck" and not use the power steering pump? Thus fast ratio manual steering? Is there a longevity issue? Reason I ask is I had a pump go out and the steering effort while harder was similar to that of a manual box. I don't mind muscling a...

    Hypothetical suspension idea

    I thought that a Street Lynx and Hotchkiss TVS front suspension might make a good combo. Anyone have thoughts on this? Better alternatives?

    Steering wiggles

    I just finalized my conversion to BBP front discs and rear end parts and I am having an issue with the manual steering. Going straight no issues but once I turn for lets say the first inch of steering wheel travel there is a wobble in the steering. Once I get past that initial inch or so the...

    Any experience with Superior Axle & Gear?

    After buying a "C-Body" rear end and finding I can't use the axles to cut down for my '67 Barracuda (thanks for the DOUBLE taper Ma Mopar!) I am just going to bite the bullet and get a set of aftermarket axles. Now the choices are well know as Moser, Dr. Diff, Dutchman, Superior Axle & Gear...

    Dutchman axles

    I called Dutchman yesterday and asked if they can redrill my 5x4" axles to 5x4.5". The guy said that he did not think they could do it. I was a bit surprised as they have been mentioned several times on this site as someone who can do this. He said I needed to measure the flange to see if I will...

    Hypothetical 8.75 BBP rear axle/ brake swap

    I have a hypothetical axle/ brake swap to run by you all. I have a '67 Barracuda with all new 8.75 rear end brakes, bearing, retainers, etc.. I want to go to a big bolt pattern in the rear. I have already done the 11 3/4 big disc swap in the front. My hypothetical question is if I buy new big...

    Narrowing b-body axles

    I just got a set of 1966-67 b-body axles to narrow for my 1967 Barracuda 8.75. Now I have heard a lot on this forum about proper length to go for (28 " is what I think is the final word for bbp rear brakes) what I am concerned about is taper. These axles do taper near the end but after measuring...

    Does this p/s pump modification work?

    I read an article (Pump it down rev1) by Mopar action that shows that if you modify the valve in a Saginaw pump (to lower pressure) your overall steering will be closer to a modern type feel (similar to firm feel). Has anyone done this mod? I will post a link to the article asap. They noted that...

    New to the Western Washington area and need someone to shorten and respline some b-body axles for my a-body 8.75. Questions are: 1. Who can do it for less than an arm and a leg? 2. What length do I need for bigger 10 x 2 rear brakes? I live in Olympia but will go as far as Seattle for the...
