    Need a favor from those with SBM and power steering.

    There is one way you can check to see if it's a slipping belt/pulley issue. Go to your local industrial supply house & buy a can of BELT DRESSING. Take the belt off and spray some on rag & wipe the belt with it until the belt is slightly sticky. Put the belt back, retighten it & try again. If...

    Stiff front end looking at aftermarket solutions

    If weight transfer is what you are looking for, the only solution, without spending lots of cash would be softer springs. In other words slant six torsion bars. I put them on a 480 horsepower 340 back in the late 70's. On acceleration the front would lift nicely & the car would launch hard...

    Stiff front end looking at aftermarket solutions

    I'm not sure about this but, I'd want to go back to rubber bushings just because the poly is stiffer. I'd want it looser not stiffer.

    Stiff front end looking at aftermarket solutions

    If dragracing is your plan, how about changing to slant six torsion bars? After that you'll have no problem transferring weight.

    Ordering Espo springs from Canada

    You're not kidding. I'm one of the lucky ones. I live 10min. away from Canada Customs. Those BA#%$^DS at UPS have a minimum brokerage fee of $14.00. Several years ago I bought a car book online for $11.00. It cost $4.50 to ship by UPS. UPS then charged me $14.00 to clear it through customs...

    Ordering Espo springs from Canada

    UPS charges outrageous brokerage fees on everything coming in from the US. If you live close to a customs office, the only way to avoid getting gouged is to tell the delivery driver that you wish to self clear the package. The parcel is returned to Canada Customs. It's now up to you to go...

    worn out leafs?

    True, but if you re-arch your springs, the arch can be adjusted to the ride height you want.

    moving the rear end

    It wasn't until the imports made quality control an issue that tolerances were tightened. As long as the frame was square it didn't matter if the two sides of the car were not dimensionally the same. Remember, these cars weren't designed for big tires. The only suggestion I can make is to trim...

    Front leaf spring bushing

    Couple years ago , on a hunch went to one of my local Mopar dealers and asked about exhaust manifold gasket/ shields for my 273. Parts guy didn't even look them up, went to the back and came back with three very dusty, correct steel pieces. Told me they'd been there for 12 years just collecting...

    Front leaf spring bushing

    I don't mean to ask stupid questions, but have you tried a spring shop (preferably an older established shop). You'd be surprised what sits on shelves.

    Steering Quickeners???

    Here's a question I"ve been wanting to ask for a long time. Instead of faster ratio pittman arms, has anyone tried to use a Steering quickener? http://www.howeracing.com/Steering/Index-Quickener-Quickener.htm Can this be made to fit a 67 Barracuda w/power steering?
