    Wheel fitment

    I did the dr diff sbp conversion for my 66 barracuda and my original 14 in steel wheels didn't clear the calipers as well. I then went to the 14in SBP rallyes which did fit for me and are working fine. I got the wheels off of wheels vintiques

    Best riding shocks for an early A-Body

    I have KYB gas-adjusts on mine. I like the ride, but then I'm partial to a more firmer suspension. I also replaced my rear springs which helped a bit too.

    Filling up at the gas station

    I just tell them that the car is "finicky" and they usually let me do it myself. I'm in the Portland area.

    Fuel tank sending unit rebuild service

    Used John Wolf & company to rebuild my factory unit after trying the spectra brand sending unit. The spectra unit did not read correctly (about 1/2 tank lower than what it really was). After installing the rebuilt factory unit, the gauge is reading accurate now.

    New ESPO Springs and shocks

    I think the springs will settle a little bit over time, but not overly much. You could probably accelerate that process by adding weight in the back (sandbags, for example). I ordered the stock height though, but I think other members here have ordered the +1 also.

    New ESPO Springs and shocks

    Its the stock height. I didn't opt for any height change. To my eye it does ride a little higher than before. But I could change the height of the back end with the air shocks, so it it hard for me to say

    New ESPO Springs and shocks

    Just installed a set of ESPO 5 leaf, stock height, rear leaf springs. Also installed a set of KYBs in place of the 30 year old air-shocks. The front already had KYBs. I couldn't be happier with the ride and feel of the car now. Before it was wallowing all over the place in the back. Now...
