    Bump steer question

    I don’t know the exact alignment specs but they are somewhere in the range of Toe in - 1/8 Camber - negative 1 Caster - positive 5 I don’t know the method used setting the strut bars. My plan is to find out how to set strut bars, double check alignment and check bumpsteer again.

    Bump steer question

    Last season I found a crack in lca at pivot shaft. I repaired, welded k frame and new lca bushings. I’ve had the cap uppers for over ten years and 20,000 miles, so far so good but yes, plan is to change to hotchkiss. I didn’t do the alignment/ setting of the strut rods, I had a shop do...

    Bump steer question

    Pretty much everything. Stock k member, tubular uppers ( cap ), boxed lowers, firm feel box, 11/16 tie rods, hotchkiss strut rods. Stock spindles. I have a set of hotchkiss uppers I’m going to install eventually but I don’t think they will change bump steer without their bumpsteer kit.

    Bump steer question

    I can’t answer that at the moment. I will check tomorrow though. It’s crazy, My toe changes enough that you can see it when you put a straight edge on the rotor. It’s toed in at full compression and toed out at full droop. And the longacre gauge confirms that.

    Bump steer question

    I bought a longacre gauge and tried it out today. I’m either doing something wrong or I have an issue. Here’s my findings. Seems pretty basic but maybe I’m buggered up. - Passenger - Compression. .5” .055. 1”. .090...

    22” radiator, do they keep up

    I’m curious if the 22” rads keep up in stop and go traffic and ac on ? I currently have a 26” rad but 22” opening ( that’s what the car came with), works great but I need a new rad and would like to go to a 22”. Cutting the rad support is not an option.

    undercoat floor

    Robert hit the nail on the head. I actually had about 3” of water on the floor when I crossed a river last summer, I had to pull my carpet out to get everything dry. Roccodart, I’ve read about por 15 and actually have a tin of brush on and would love to use it but the surface rust I’m talking...

    undercoat floor

    I have a Geo tracker that is in excellent shape and I wouid like to keep it that way. I want to paint underneath the carpet, there’s some light surface rust and that’s it. I wouid like to undercoat to help with the cab noise but will this actually seal and not allow water to get trapped? I’ve...

    6.4 in an e body questions

    I’m starting my swap, I’m looking into tti headers. The only set they have that will work with stock k member and air conditioning say that a borgeson box is required but they don’t specify If the borgeson box is only required for a bodies or e bodies as well. Can any e body swappers chime in...

    6.4 going in a 74 Cuda questions

    Well I’m starting my swap, I picked up my motor today. I have a few questions to start with. -I’m getting mixed reports on the oil filter with stock k member, can anyone tell me if the stock filter works or do I need the 45 adapter? - what kind of heater hoses to use ( with 90’s )? - is there...

    Disassembled Stroker, what’s it worth?

    Ok, I’m not to far off then. I was thinking if I got $4000 cdn ( $3000 us). Then I would be happy

    Disassembled Stroker, what’s it worth?

    Honestly I caught the gas right away but was scared to run it just in case. The lifters were noisy from day one and the thing burnt a bit of oil from day one. Looks like the place that originally built the thing were not as hi quality as they claimed to be and that all I want to say. Sad part...

    Disassembled Stroker, what’s it worth?

    im thinking about selling my la stuff and going genIII. I’m curious of what you guys think my stuff would be worth.

    518 with transgo kit question

    So leaving the tv linkage tied back won’t hurt anything ?

    518 with transgo kit question

    I understand the importance of a tv ( kick down) system but i always manually shift because it always seems to short shift in drive. So my question, do I still need the tv hooked up if always manually shifting ? I think the shift kit claims to turn the valve body into somewhat of a manual valve...

    6.1 with thitek heads or stock 6.4 with ported heads

    Yeah, I’m really leaning towards the 6.1 because of those heads

    6.1 with thitek heads or stock 6.4 with ported heads

    Yes. There is a low mile 6.4 for sale. It would end up being similar in price by the time I got the 6.4 worked on but the 6.1 is all forged and I’ve heard those heads are crazy good. The guy with the 6.1 claims 500hp to the wheels, I can’t seem to find any dyno numbers or time slips with...

    6.1 with thitek heads or stock 6.4 with ported heads

    This is the info I have, looking at buying this or buying a stock 6.4 and doing some head work but the 6.1 would be an easier swap

    Next step above edelbrock heads

    I have been leaning towards car weight, and that may be a better direction. Power doesn't help you stop.. lol. Another reason I went from ez efi to Fitech is for the power adder feature. I am definitely going to get some more port work, 1.6 rockers and go from there. I talked with my...

    Next step above edelbrock heads

    yeah, I know that would be the easiest way to go faster but with the highway miles I put on I want to stay with the stall I have, as far as cam, i don't want to go with anything that would have worse street manners, this one is ok. So that is why I'm thinking about a better head. Am I...
