Can you confirm you offer anything for 1960-1962 A-bodies? thanks

Message me your email and I'll fix you up with pictures, thanks

update: Local parts store warrantied out the weakened Monroe's. Installed the new Sachs #030816 Don't know how long they'll last, but improved ride is like night and day. Not rough, just firm and smooth for a boulevard cruiser ride

Ranger, may the Toad be with you.

All my projects on her are completed, so it's time to let her go. If you're interested, contact me here, and I'll send a comprehensive service/repair log detailing everything from day one of ownership (6/23/15). I've known the previous owner since he started the project in 1979 in SoCal. We can...

Has anyone run a Sachs 030816 on the front of your 1961 Valiant or Lancer?

What about Sachs? Anyone used them?

Thanks, yes, fathers day gift.

Thanks again. I haven't been able to locate a Bilstein part number for my early ('61') Lancer, the specific application I asked about. :(

Thanks

Thanks, you obviously know a lot more about this than I do. The car had KYB's on it when I got it, and I'd never used KYB's on any of the 40+ cars I've ever owned. Like you said, they were "teethjarring uncomfortable". To make certain I don't snag the wrong ones, what Bilsteins that you...

The Toad has taken 3 trophies in local car shows. All three were awarded by the people that hosted the show and knew little to nothing about cars. I found that strangely reassuring. :)

Not looking for a performance/handling shock (I realize that sets off a lot of people), so apart from base Monroe's, what front shocks do you recommend for a '61 A Body? I removed a worn set of KYB's, but the Monroe's are a little too soft for our weather beaten roads down here on the Gulf...

"Talk Darty to me"

It is great, isn't it? Except the only people that ever come up to talk to me about when they owned a Lancer are the little old ladies who drove one to choir practice. :eek:

Due to a computer problem, I had to recreate from day one my restoration/service spread sheet this evening. Now I remember why I've always advised everyone to NEVER total what they've spent on their hobby cars.

trying a new sealant from Blackfire did all four cars

PM sent

Ok, I'll try this: what's the correct style in '61? straight and painted? chrome and scrolled?

searched and found info here and there....but.... IF I wanted an extra gas cap for the '61, what's available beside a high priced original? thanks

Clear as a bell, thanks

Can someone direct me to a prior thread on a '61 (factory drums) conversion from single to dual master cylinder? Brake light pressure switch? Rod length? Brake line hookups? Thanks

What was the first year that early A Bodies got a dual master cylinder (and that would be the most simple bolt-in for my '61 Lancer)? Yes, I realize this may need to go to the brake forum, but I'm seeking out those that really know the first few years of A Body life. Thanks

Good to know. All I want in the Lancer is a little low end grunt anyway. It's too ugly to be fast. :o

Cool! Wonder when they stopped selling that grind?

Doesn't appear they offer this mild cam any longer. Late '70's, early '80's Note the valve lash adjustment

Good question. I just advanced it a tad, listened to it idle, then test drove it to see how the plugs burned.
