Time to install the Borgeson unit in my 68 Charger.
My car has the full package of subframes, ias shocks, hotchkis front and rear set, boxed lcas etc etc
....and a FF st3 box.
It ran like a gocart, the most enjoyable car I has ever driven.
....but then my federal pump died, changed to saginaw and different oil, then my FF box started to develop a huge slop at center...
Wanting to get back to that solid feeling that the car had before, I got myself a Borgeson kit. I also got the mopar oil cooler (Very expensive but sits compact on the pump, just like I want it.)
I have removed my power steering unit before and it was a hassle bending against the headers, denting the oil pickup tube etc.
This time the battery is in the trunk and all bolts has been replaced so they are easy to get loose. Lots more fun to tinker with the car now.
This time I will take my time and with a coffee work slowly and thought through, starting now with loosening the headers and removing the pump.
And also reading through Kerns great thread about the subject:
Swapping a Borgeson steering box in a 1970 Charger
At the same time I will install my schumacher torque strap thats been on the shelf for a year.
More to come....
