I know the 72 has the big unlock lever that you must rotate/depress to unlock ignition to turn key. I think 71 is same, but not 100%. Don't believe 70 has this safety device. Grant

I believe the top of the rocker is straight, and I would guess that any sag in the body would occur in this area, so the first thing I would do would be to put a straight edge along the sill area and see if there is any bowing, or at least difference from side to side. Grant

No you aren't.. Grant

As stated above, left and right bars twist in opposite directions, so must go in the correct side. Front and rear does not matter if the torsion bar hexes are not offset in their clocking. Hold a pen horizontally in front of you with one hand on each end. Now twist one way with your left...

If the rest of the body and frame is good, and you're willing to get it fixed, 340plot did one on his Duster recently. His first time, and it came out great. You will need the equipment, space and time to do it. If you can find someone to weld it, you can get a clean rail/fenderwell, drill...

hemi71x So that's what they looked like lol.. Grant

Nice detailed post Joe.. Thanks. Grant

Definitely was worth buying the puller for the second one :sign3: Grant

Cool.. Let us know. I read Ehrenberg installing the prototype on a vehicle in MopAction, and he seemed impressed. Easy install and good results. Grant

I think the 72in lbs is just to ensure that you have taken up all the slack without initially overtightening (same as tranny bands). Grant

This thread is getting more and more exciting every day. Really interested in the finished product, as are many others it seems. Grant

Man this is really looking good.. I really like the brace on the upper shock towers. Looking forward to some seat in the pants reporting on this. Grant

The differences in A-body columns is that - all standard steering interchange and all power steering interchange. However, some have column shift, some don't. As well, 67-69 used key on dash, 70 key on column. There are differences in the ignition lock method, and I believe 71 started using the...

I know you are NOT interested in other products, but the latest MopMusc showed install of a C#AP system with front rack. Used a welded on extension on spindle, and the guys doing it fabbed a brace to support the coilover. Maybe something to look at for ideas? Grant

Only thing I can think of is a set of the wheel adapters. Many use them, many hate them. Grant

Agree with above.. I sprayed Kroil on some rusted stubborn front end parts including upper control arm bolts, and it was like... magic Grant

Nice.. they even look like they are easily adjustable :) Grant

If you look in the hole, you will see the tube.. find a punch that just fits in the hole and start tapping. Definitely setup a jack with some type of platform to balance the K-member on. I always raise the jack setup right to the K-member. That way you are not going to put the weight of the K...

It wasn't as much that it doesn't work.. it looked like it was cut out with an acetelyne torch. The pieces were not anywhere close to fitting and needed a lot of grinding to clear what needed ckearancing. Finishing of edges? Non-existent. Since the reason I bought it was because the torsion bar...

Having purchased one of those Autorust caps in the past, my opinion would be to get a nice rust-free complete original one from one of the members here.. even if it costs a few $$ more to get it to you.. the ART one is crap.. CRAP Grant

If I am correct the Valiant wagons were pre-67 only. I am not sure if they interchange with later 67-76 versions. Grant

When you first move forward or backwards, the pressure will attempt to turn the tire (toe). I would guess to check the strut rods. Any play here will allow them to clunk. Grant

LOL.. don't worry Woody, you're not alone. Years ago I saw a Dart sitting on the end of a driveway. Typical Winnipeg salt case. I stopped and asked the owner what was up with it, and was informed he had called one of those scrap pickup places to haul her off to the shredder. He said sure when I...

Good to hear.. and better yet, that your guy is open to learning.. To all those that offered up the info.. thx Grant

I agree with Redfish, if you need a rebuild, don't piece meal it. It will just accelerate wear on any other bushings. One item that can help a lot is a front ant-roll bar, and there are kits for cars not equipped with one from the factory. Grant

Tried one of the auto-rust tech torsion mount kit and found it to be a crudely made piece of steel that required at least as much work to properly install as cutting out and replacing the entire crossmember. Fit and finish may have been presentable with additional grinding, welding, and...

Steve68 is correct. If you want to use the factory type, cutting is the way. Otherwise you have to use the aftermarket kit. Grant

Yes, thanks for catching that omission. Grant

From my understanding, all of the 72 Swinger 340 cars were dealer-order specials. Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood they were purposely batch built for the orders. Maybe it is possible that the purchasing dealers specified that all the cars received them? Do other known examples have...
