    Frontend ride height, limitations

    Disregarding exact front end geometry like camber and caster, what are the limitations on front end lowest ride height? For example, bumper clearance and steering geometry issues? I guess what I’m asking is how low can I make the front end before I have clearance or steering issues? And how do...

    Initial Steering Set Up

    Ok I am now at the point of assembling my steering Center link. And attaching the tie rods/pitman/idler aems. Looking at the FSM I didn’t find the part about centering up the steering gear/Pitman Arm initially. I assume I need to center the Pitman to the box to give me equal Left Right range...

    Neutral Safety Switch Polarity?

    I am assuming there is no polarity on the connection to the transmission on my 1970 Sat’s neutral safety switch/reverse light harness. Correct? Looks like brown center is the neutral safety open in gear and short in park and neutral? So the other two (blk and blk-t) must be power and reverse...

    Center link playing violin with headers

    So after a complete front end rebuild the center link is rubbing very slightly on the headers (problem 1). When I rebuilt my LCA I welded in the stiffing plates and one side was off just a small amount that the torsion bar adjusting bolt wont go all the way through the given hole in the plate...

    What’s with the rear spoiler?

    So what’s the deal with the rear spoiler on the 70 Roadrunner? Was that a Chrysler dealer option or just an aftermarket thing? Is there any history on this? I wouldn’t think it provided much functionality. So purely aesthetic.?.

    Bendix boosters

    I have some questions regarding Bendix’s boosters. My card originally came with front disc, brakes rear drum and manual master cylinder. I bought an aftermarket master cylinder and brake booster. I think it’s a 7 inch. I’ve been told that 8 inch boosters worked better. Mine I have to push pretty...

    Brake vacuum reservoir = hard starting?

    Would adding a brake vacuum reservoir potentially cause hard starting? If so what are the options? Thanks MF

    There are worse things …. But!

    So I’m working on getting the kickdown linkage ratio to match my throttle linkage travel on a custom set up. Fun stuff! So I’m looking for a specific nylon piece that I can tap a 5/16-18 and have the outer diameter match the inner diameter of my carburetor throttle bracket to use as a bushing...

    What type of jack do you guys carry in the trunk?

    Given how crappy and unstable the stock bumper jacks are not to mention the damage they can inflict on the chrome I plan to carry a better jack in my trunk. Curious as to what you guys are using for emergency roadside tire change. Thanks MF

    What makes a Mopar engine special or different?

    So I’m asking this question because I’m wondering what are some of the details of let’s say the Chrysler LA small block that makes it different than a GM small block from the builders perspective. Can a Chrysler guy build a good GM engine and can a GM guy build a good Chrysler engine? This when...

    Most Iconic Mopar Model and Year?

    I suppose this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find it. I’m wondering which particular model and year of all the Mopar’s is the most iconic. The big variable in this question is what does it mean to be iconic I suppose. Anyways, interested in knowing your thoughts, let’s keep it to B-Bodies?

    Windshield washer, fluid nozzle pointing

    I seem to have lost my original nozzles and when fitting my replacements, I don’t recall them being this far away from the grill above. It would complicate aiming, but maybe this is normal. It needs to get through the grill and actually hit the right spot on the windshield. My questions are...

    Ballast Resistor for wiper motor?

    I am getting only high speed and no park on my wiper motor. I don’t see an external resistor and understand this controls the wiper speed and park. I am enclosing a picture of my wiper motor as it looks different from other wiper motors that had resistors externally mounted. This I believe is...

    Visor attachment the opened end cliped?

    It’s been so long since I’ve taken advisors off and I’ve since put my headliner on I can’t recall if the end of the visors had a stop clip or not. This is opposite to the hinge side attached to the roof. My visors do have a male ending, which looks like it would clip into a stop. I just have no...

    Passenger Mirror Won't Aim

    The car was set up for a passenger mirror so I purchased what I thought was the correct style mirror. It wont aim correctly in that the mirror does not seem to have enough travel. Any thoughts on how to improve this travel internally? Thanks MF I’ll try and post a picture later today.
