Considering he just bought the car I don't consider it his fault that things are not in the condition they should be.... I do agree with @Geoff 2 that that new engine won't have any support from the builder.... Just the distance alone was insulation enough, now changing ownership? Forget...

That was my first thought as well.. But then I checked the conversion rate, it's around 20K US.. Which is still a lot, but it's been shipped from the US to Australia, the import duties have been paid & it was probably 16K or more to build... So who's the builder?

There are a few variations.. early cars used a #4 inverted flare up till around 67? next version was a #5 inverted flare till 72 and starting in 73 they went to a O ringed bubble flare... The steering box has a O ring boss connection that on later boxes still accepts O ring boss fittings but is...

Yeah, makes sense, black stripes on a black hood would just be black... Guess I need to wake up before asking dumb questions... LOL..

FWIW I agree go to a hydraulic shop, but they don't have to make anything.. What you need is a standard fitting male threads on noth ends... the end that threads into the steering box is O ring boss and the end the hose attaches to is JIC... Take your hose with you so they can match that end, I...

Almost exactly the high side number this chart wants...

It depends purely on luck.... If you think your quick enough to shut down an engine before damage occurs consider this... At 3000 RPM the piston will travel up and down it's bore 50 times per second... Pure luck... Period...

We all get stuff wrong... Don't like it but it happens... The gray matter is getting grayer... :lol: I had some of those tabs, the came in a Helwig sway bar kit.... I didn't use them on that car.. But they came in handy on another car..

But the tabs are still the same on the stock lower control arms. No they aren't... The 70 & up sway bar tabs are inboard probably 3.5" 1970 & up 1969 & earlier

Needs more tire.... To narrow & to short...

Probably Vert seals..
