Stant made a vacuum pressure cap part number G - 47. Found them on E Bay for $10 dollars and up NOS Ordered one to stay off the Darwin Awards :-)

I actually ended up drilling a very small hole in the center of a regular cap and there is no gas leakage. If I'm not mistaken the fill tube has a baffle at the bottom of it to keep that from happening unless the tank is overfilled.

I have the same setup as 71 Beeper. My fuel line goes to a Vapor Separator Filter before going to the carb and there is a return line from that filter back to the tank. I capped all 4 hose nipples on the tank and vented the gas cap. Been working fine for 12 years with zero vaporlock. The the...

Installed the steering column shaft from Norm's Speed Shop. Alignment of the steering wheel is spot on. 1 3/4 turn from center both left and right. Positions of the front end components all to spec. Thanks all for the help.

Thanks pnora. Ordered a rebuilt shaft from Norms Speed Shop in NC. Good to work with. Will let everyone know the results when i get it installed.

I pulled the steering column shaft out today and marked it up and took pics. My understanding is that the locate spline for the steering wheel should align with the the locate spline in the coupler that attaches to the locate spline on the steering box. my shaft has the hole for the coupler...

Thanks 1 Wild R/T. We have been listening to everybody posts and checking their recommendations against what we have now. The concern is, in the current configuration turning the steering wheel 90 degrees to level it puts the gearbox shaft off its center. I've checked gear box master spline...

Looked at moving the locator hole but the wire to the rimblow has a detent in the hub it sits in. Thanks for the suggestion

Yes it is. Looks like I have an issue with the steering shaft. Just finished a tape alignment wit the steering wheel 90 degrees off and it tracks and drives fine with equal turns left and right of center so it must be an incorrect steering shaft. Thoughts?

Checked with Norms Speed shop on the steering shaft and he says that the keyed spline in the coupler and keyed spline on the steering wheel should be aligned with each other. Mine appears to be 90 degrees off.

Yes. it has 3.5 turns lock to lock and centered where the pictures show it with the steering wheel is 1.75 each way.

Just looked at a video on column rebuild. Looks like the shaft is 2 pieces but is held together with breakaway plastic pins in the event of a collision. it also only goes together 2 ways so at best it would be 180 degrees off from each other not the 90 off that I have

That's and option but before I do that is the steering column shaft 2 pieces? Is it possible it was slid together 90 degrees off so the wheel and coupler master splines are not aligned with each other?

We'll try to do better with the posting. :) This forum is a wealth of information and has helped me more times than the factory manual. This is the first time I've been really stuck. I'm trying to understand how shimming the steering box will improve turning the steering wheel 90 degrees to the...

Have a weird alignment issue with the 1971 GTX. When I bought it the steering wheel lock was 2 turns to the left and lock 1.5 turns to the right with uneven tie rod ends but the steering wheel was centered perfectly. This week I replaced all the front end components with Mancini and Moog parts...
