    Seal confusion.

    I have a set of mustang rotors that I machined to fit my KH 10" setup on my 68 dart GT vert. I have come across conflicting information regarding the seal. The original seal is 1.730 ID and 2.340 OD and this is what I machined the mustang rotor OD to. I've read here that someone used a seal...

    Power steering pump question - 68 dart GT V-8

    I'm curious if the federal 1.06 pump is the right pump for my dart gt? Is there an explanation as to why there are two pumps used? The Saginaw is called the .94 and the federal is called the 1.06??? Is one "better" than the other?

    KH disks value??

    I got a set of mustang/raybestos disk for my 68 dart GT vert. Is there any value in the original KH disks or do I scrap them? I will hold on to them for measurement purposes but, once I'm done with the machining, I'll have no use for them. Thanks

    Steering box area of K frame need welding?

    I've beefed up the seam welds of my K frame. I also read about folks that have added gussets etc to the steering box mount. The steering box mount on my K frame has, what appear to be, the biggest and strongest welds of the whole K frame. Is it still worth adding gussets? I do plan on adding...

    LCA stiffener plates-why not?

    I figure the puny ball joints in my dart is the weakest part of the front suspension but got a hair and figured I'd make the LCAs a little stronger. Just some 1/16" plate punched and ready for welding.

    Zerk for stock front sway bar bushing make sense?

    I'm about to install the prothane front sway bar bushings and thought about drilling the bracket for zerks? I can't see how the grease would make it between the bracket and bushing but thought it might be worth asking about? Thanks

    Tips and question about KH caliper crossover lines

    I'm rebuilding a set of 4 piston KH disk brake calipers. I'm looking for advice on how the tight bends are made in the lines for these calipers. I'm also wondering if all the lines get the spiral "spring" protection added to them or just the ones from the brake hose connection. Thanks

    I'm wondering if others have these flat stamped steel rings bolted to one bolt on the front sway bar cage? Are these for shipping/delivery and should I pitch them in the trash? Thanks

    Damaged brass seat is caliper???

    I may have damaged the brass tube seat in one or more of the KH calipers I'm rebuilding. I bottomed out some 3/8-28 bolts I was using to plug the inlet while pumping grease to remove stuck pistons. Anyone ever replaced one these? I'm pretty sure replacement seats are available but figured I'd...

    BBP rotors for a 1968 Dart GT using the same 4-piston calipers???

    I am starting (finally) to work on my 68 Dart GT convertible. I am pretty sure that I will be going with some sort of aftermarket wheels when the time comes. I understand there are not very many SBP aftermarket wheels available so I got to wondering if I could simply get a set of rotors to...

    Federal steering pump pressure line "O" ring question

    I have finally located the power steering pump I can use. My question is regarding the style of fitting for the pressure line to the pump. I thought it would be a double flare fitting but it is a double "O" ring style. Does anyone know what I should ask for at Napa for replacing these? I asked...

    still confused-manual to power conversion shaft

    I should have gotten clear on this but I am going from manual column shift to a power/console in my 65 Dart. I have read a lot of posts about conversions but still am unsure about mine. It is not a collapsible column. Do I need to lengthen the shaft or make it shorter? Are the ends for both...

    power steering pump questions

    I am cleaning some parts in anticipation of converting my 65 Dart to PS. I have had 2 pumps for a couple of years. They both have the round filler neck (Federal?) but they are not the same internally. One is an early version such as an original 65 and the other is a later version that matches...

    Leaking exhaust flange

    I have been putting up with this too long. The flange for the head pipe to the exhaust manifold on my dart is pissing me off now. It is a 65 with a super six and the flange has not been flush with the manifold since I had the exhaust dozen years ago. Every 3 months or so the damn ticking noise...

    1970 Chrysler 300 convertible top too tight

    Ignition/start & other questions-440HP 1970 Chrysler 300

    I have recently restored the entire dash on my 1970 300 convertible. It is an original car with 55K miles. I took out the whole thing and had the pleasure of discovering I routed the harness in wrong so I had to take the instrument cluster out to get it in the right position. I started the car...

    Bad damper+low speed vibration?

    I have a very noticeable vibration in my 65 Dart at low speed. From 0 to maybe 15 mph I can really feel it and I am wondering if it could be from a bad vibration damper? I don't use this car much but I purchased a NOS damper many months ago because I could see that the one on the engine (1977...
