It depends on if it came from a rally dash or standard dash with regards to the chrome rocker part of the switch. 2 speed from a non rally won’t fit a rally dash 2 speed. 2 speed rally dash chrome rocker should change over to a 3 speed switch with no issues. The actual switches are completely...
Though this is possible start simple first. The most common causes for incorrect toe in turn? Loose strut rod bushings/nut Or the idler arm mount being in the incorrect location. Easily spotted by the drag link not being parallel to the ground. Easy fix. Again this would show up on a good rack.

I did my own alignment last summer after finishing a complete front end rebuild. First time I've done my own and I am happy with the results so far. I'll know more after I get more miles on it and can check tire wear. I also found that either the alignment shop that did it last didn't do it...
Lower control arm bushings are located on the torsion bar pivot. Upper control arm bushings where the cam bolts pass thru. Strut rod bushings at the front of the K frame where the rods attach. A good visual inspection will show if they are reallty bad. The pivot point should be centered in the...
And I'm sure you're wrong! I swapped over to 3-speed wipers. Got the correct b-body switch with a crappy rocker. Removed my perfect 2-speed rocker and it absolutely does not fit. When I'm in the shop later I'll snap a shot of both switces and show you why. If you're going to modify things then...
That makes more sense. The Wiseco's are a nice light weight piston with narrow rings and I believe made in Ohio? Speedpro like you said.. is made in India. The wiseco's 2.05 is a odd compression height, but that doesn't really matter on a open chamber head if it gets you the compression your...
There is a spec for what is known as "Toe out on Turns" Non adjustable if I remember. May have to do with frame alignment.It maybe in the factory service manual.
Just a thought. Check to see if your length of inner to outer tie rod ends are equal side to side.Measure from grease fitting to...

Thanks so much for such a concise explanation Doug! This is exactly what I needed! Yes my car drives straight hands off but I hear tire squeal especially in a turn. So I know Toe-In must be off. Maybe when I fix that I might detect other alignment problems don’t know. But this is a good start...
We have a former neighbor to stay with in Vegas. The Concerts at the Cannery are missed.
