70es and 50es sounds like fall is approaching.

I have a slant 6 motor mount i never used, I bought it 14 years ago I bet, maybe it is a thick one .

Interested to see how the motor mounts work for you. The ones I originally ordered from RockAuto were.too thin and I had to get a more robust set to gain clearance between the headers and the steering gear box

Are you talking early A or 67 to 72?

I've got a picture of the two side by side somewhere in this box... but it was a pretty substantial difference. It probably would not have mattered in a stock setup though.

I had the same problem with my 63 wagon so ended up making my own solid steel mounts. With the way the throttle linkage is on the long runner intake, I couldn't have a lot of engine movement so the steel mounts did the trick keeping it in place.

Yes 37-41 round back spindles. Akerman is way out from where it should, but again, 1000's of miles, and now suddenly issues. Not sure KPI, abut king pins are set. Only toe is adjustable

I’m more wondering if the hubs or maybe just the spindles are now worn out of from the KPI being off and that’s what’s thrashing the bearings? I just know when I was looking at build a T bucket using that same year axle, there were loads of reports of both KPI and Ackerman causing hubs to fail with certain kits. I’m a little curious too if the 37 spindles aren’t up to the task of the speeds and heat of modern traveling speeds.

you might go over to the H.A.M.B and post this there. Those guys are a HUGE source of knowledge similar to here but mostly focused on beam front axle cars
 
Man another hot humid day. I have a bunch of DP cases to paint for custom race curves and cannot do it because it is way to humid! Hate to turn the hops dryer into a paint drier!

Did you see this? ( you non back reader)


@halifaxhops that guy with the diagnostic machine who wouldn't sell it to me because I didn't have anything in my FB profile? He messaged me to see if I was still interested
