    Lower control arm stiffening plates?

    I will most likely do the stiffening plates when I do the lower control arm bushings and the strut rod bushings. I did the upper bushings and all the ball joints and tie rods in 2023.

    Lower control arm stiffening plates?

    The ones in the 80’s and 90’s always squeaked. The ones I’ve been installing come with very sticky clearish color grease. The ones from the 80’s and 90’s used clear grease that seemed to be the same consistency are regular wheel bearing/chassis grease.maybe they have learned.

    Thermoquad my 440 motor home loved that carb. So did my 73 power wagon. But I’m trying to my my Road Runner look close to stock. The Edelbrock looks stock enough. I could put a Holley on it as mine was a factory Holley car with California emissions.

    Vibration in vehicle above 66 mph. Then oscillating then somewhat smooths out.

    Answer to the question does it vibrate sitting still no. It’s smooth I even ran the rpm up to 3200 rpm and it’s smooth. I have tried installing 2 degrees shims between the diff and spring. Pointing the nose of the diff up car gets worse. Pointing the nose of the diff down makes NO difference...

    Vibration in vehicle above 66 mph. Then oscillating then somewhat smooths out.

    1970 Road Runner. The vehicle has what feels like a driveline type vibration that comes in about 65-66 mph. It turns into an oscillating type vibration around 68mph to about 72 then the oscillation tapers out. About 2800 -3200 engine rpm. I bought the car in 2019 and was a rolling body. It came...

    Urethane leave spring bushings

    Has anyone installed Urethane leave spring bushing? Did the vehicle exhibit any vibration through the car, ride harshness other than the dreaded squeak. I can’t remember if I put the bushings in when I owned my car in the 80’s or the owner in between my first and 2nd time owning the car. Thanks

    Is this Comp Cams Camshaft wiped-out?

Being your intake is off along with the valve train take a look at your lifters and make sure they have a slight crown too them.
