    Would like to confirm I have what I think I have.

    That's exactly right! Thank you fellows for clearing that up for me. I believe what I am going to do is get a decent ps pump package for now, and when funds permit install the stage 3 ff box. It's not incredibly expensive compared to other options. Again, thanks for all the help.

    Would like to confirm I have what I think I have.

    If that is the case, whats up with these "firm feel" boxes? I dont understand what makes those power steering boxes from firm feel so great? I mean, all I ever read is "that steering box I got from firm feel is the best thing I bought for my mopar!@!". So what is so great about them? Am I...

    Would like to confirm I have what I think I have.

    EDIT: I found that I have nothing special, now I need advice on what to do, see below! Is this a 16:1 steering box? It is the steering box I got with my 73 dart sport. But IDK if its original or not. I am not too familiar with what was available and what not in 1973. I really dont care if...

    Used Steering Box Pricing?

    "Quick ratio" manual steering boxes were optional from 65-69, at 16:1 only 3 1/2 turns lock-to-lock. More common are the 20:1 steering boxes (4 1/2 turns) from 70 on. 20:1 is the better choice for a b- or e- car, and probably in an A-body daily driver as well." (Quoted from Performance...

    Used Steering Box Pricing?

    Not looking for the ultimate steal, but the average going rate. What should I be looking to pay, excluding shipping, on a usable 20:1 manual box for my Dart Sport? Im trying to decide if its worth it to get one or if I should just go all out with a Firm Feel power steering unit. Money is...

    DANGEROUS PRODUCT = Moog Ball Joints

    Well I was already worried about the Moog ball joint I put under my tundra. I had it aligned, after a ton of front end work I did, and it was great for about a week. Then every now and again I pulls to the right slightly. When I get in from offshore I am gonna check it out. I just hope...

    Firm feel reinforcement plates worth it?

    I didnt know they had some videos, gonna check some stuff out when I get home from offshore. If there is some flex, Im gonna go ahead and use them. I do want the car to take the turns, and since I have the chance to do it while the front end is torn down I may as well. Its not that...

    Firm feel reinforcement plates worth it?

    Are firm feel reinforcement plates worth using on the LCA and K frame, or is it just added dead weight? Here is my plan, Rubber LCA bushings, Rubber MOOG ecentric UCA rubber bushings, Urethane swaybar end links, and some form of adjustable strut bar on the front. Later down the road a...

    Torsion bar removal question

    Ok, I have seen several of those torsion bar removal tools in the mags. What I want to know is the purpose of them. Is it just to keep from scratching the bars, or is it to keep from damaging them? I always thought that if they got nicked, that would fatigue the bars and increase the...

    Who sells XHD springs? Are they a replacement from a resto shop, a mopar performance part? Who makes them and who sells them?

    Ditch power steering?

    Well, thats not really the main reason to ditch the PS, I can live with it up top if necessary. After reading all this, I think I will be keeping it. Parasitic drag is an issue with a car like this, but the car still has to have AC. Its just too hot, and if it doesnt have it the car will not...

    Ditch power steering?

    I am trying to get my AC compressor down out of the middle/front of the engine bay. My car came with power steering, but I am not sure if its the best for what I want to do. I want the car (74 Dart Sport) to be a no frills street brawler. No tubbed out slicks with skinnies on the front, no...

    Spring relocation ride height question

    Yea I knew the SS springs werent what I really wanted. I just didnt know there was any other choices out there. Will look into the Hotchkis. As far as the spring mounts, Does anybody think the springs moved inward would have any major effect on handling. I just figure that the further out...

    Spring relocation ride height question

    I want to keep leafs under the rear of a 70 dart. I plan on mini tubs and would like to relocate the springs for extra tire clearance. Two questions I plan on building with some corner carving in mind. Should I use SS springs or some other leaf setup? How much is ride height increased...
