Yes, 12Volt. Meter says 13.1volts now so it is dropping. I will check after dinner and see if we are close to 12.6.

Hi Folks, Went to do my new engine break in today and my new Battery was close to dead so I charged it up. I checked it with the multi meter and it says 13.48 volts when it’s NOT running. Looks like something it ‘Leaching’ power from it. Hoping you guys can give me some ideas of where to check...

Roger that, thanks Guys!

Hi Guys, Will a 69 Dart 2 door Windshield work for a 73 Duster? Cheers,

Yes, its just not in the photo.

Here are the latest shots with the stock power steering. I dont have the column in yet, but it is trimmed down.

Okay cool, I will check it. I think the Classic one was 14 1/2" long. Will that 1/4" bite me or does it matter?

Looking for the one like Brewers sells (They are out of stock currently) for A bodies with Big Blocks. 14 1/4" Overall Length Shoot me a price with shipping to Canada if you have a spare. Cheers,

Ya, they totally give a guy some play for sure. I think I remember reading (from Schumachers site) that you should install the mounts a bit loose so you can adjust, etc. Get everything where you want, then torque em down.

I got it figured out. I had to take some material off the power steering box and then Jack the passenger side up/over slightly to fit the manifolds on. I had forgot to tighten down the mounts at first so everything was loose.

I got it almost perfect. I did make the proper mods to the K frame but it was still hitting the PS.

Yup, it’s definitely canted now that I am paying attention. Going to yank out the power steering box and see what happens. Will let you guys know.

Okay, so I hunted around and I think my power steering box is chanting the engine over slightly. It is mashed right into the drivers side engine mount. Can I take out the unit and clearance it a bit with the die grinder or are most guys going manual when they go Big block?

I will double check my mounts again tomorrow.
