Bump

Nice slant six with 4bbl intake,header,rebuilt w/low miles.Ran excellent before wiring fire under dash. I'm only asking 300.00 due to the fact that it has been stored in my friends garage for over a year and he wants it gone. It even has the air conditioning compressor still attached. all it...

I thought about that but just bought my own equipment instead.Now I can do my own alignment any time I feel the need.:glasses7:

What the hell is all that white stuff?:hello1:

:mrgreen:Quick update: Rear springs are replaced and car drives straight and true. bump.......:occasion::burnout::evil4:

Somehow my 76 dart, 4 door no less,Became a 66 nova in the eyes of one astute young observer.:la:

I have alignment now but the car is lopsided due to worn and bent leaf springs.Will change them out as soon as I can.I think if I learned one thing from all this, its that your car is only going to be as good as your weakest part.It doesn't pay to put lipstick on a pig.From here on out I'm going...

I did screw up the height adjustment no doubt.Also upon closer inspection found the bottom right rear leaf spring looks like question mark right before the forward mount like someone put a jack under it and bent it.Going to set the ride height properly(finally got the FSM to download) and get it...

Well,I did it thanks to all you guys here on fabo.The info you gave was dead on and made alignment a breeze.I do have one more problem though and need some help getting pointed in the right direction.First I set the height of the vehicle by adjusting each arm to 1inch between the bumpstop and...

Did the measurements.Not even close on the caster,camber is like -.9,and I have toe out instead of toe in which explains the scrubbing.Gonna go figure out how to put some positive caster on this thing.

I was hoping noone would tell me that.......Lol

:burnout:I haven't even got to the wiring and transmission leaks yet.I'll be picking your brains for sure.I've owned chevelles,novas,mustangs etc,even a corvette and I wouldn't give up this old /6 dart for any of them.I think its a sickness thats only getting worse.

The tires have less than 1000 miles on them but anything is possible at this point.2 Darts it doesn't sound stupid I have heard the same thing from other people.I really appreciate any input.

It was steering pretty good,just a slight wander to the left before I took it into the shop.They won't use my specs.Tomorrow is the day we make our adjustments. Its funny how when u make a right turn and let go of the wheel it turns back but if you make a left turn and let go it stays where you...

Thanks for all the great info everybody.My landlord informed me he once owned a tire shop and remembers working on these.Hes supposed to help me and armed with all this info we should be able to "Get er done".I'll let you know how it goes.Don't forget to vote!!!
