Agreed. Pretty much what I have learned over the past week. I have some money to spend, and I want to put it in the right places. Have a meeting next Tues with my guy. Thanks

Yup, got it, that is the plan. Upgrade, existing with better, more modern parts. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I think I have a handle on this now, like the 73 to 76 idea, for sure. Going to go with 15s, as I want to get as much rubber under there that I can. Not into big rim skinny tires at all. Going to replace what is there with new/better/modern parts, like you fellows have...

Planning to put over drive in it also. Any suggestions? Looks like a 727 can be modified, or would it be better to go to a different trans? I have yet to investigate this option also. Thank you for all the help, guys.

Great info, thanks. I am far from an expert on the subject, so I am learning here, bear with me. I will be going too BBP, but have not figured out a wheel brake combo just yet. As I stated in my other post, it sounds like if I go with the same set-up that is there, but upgrade the parts, I will...

I have 20 to 25Gs to spend. That would include new heads for the engine, as well as other goodies like aluminum rad and electric fan. I realize I will not get the money back out, but that is not an issue, This car will stay in the family. I am not doing the work, having a shop work with me here...

Pretty much stock under there. I did put one of those rubber kits in 20 years ago. Going to bbp, disc brakes. I realize the link I posted is way too much, and I really do not know what to replace to achieve what I want. There is an Auburn pro series sure grip in it now. I have a set of TTI...

Hey guys, going to upgrade the Cuda suspension. Not sure where to start, or just how far and how much I need to put into it. Been looking at this. 1966-1972 Mopar A-Body TVS Suspension System, Dart, Duster, Valiant, Demon Too much?. Not looking to auto cross, just want good brakes and great...

Soooo, everthing is back together. I think I can re and re that whole set up with my eyes closed. I drilled and pined the shaft at 36 3/8, put it all back together ( for the umpteenth time) and it was still too short. Took it all back out and pulled(hammered) the two shaft sections apart. Just...

You beat me to it, thanks.

The shaft feels solid for sure, I think if it were collapsed I would be able to tell, I searched around and found an old thread that stated the automatic steering shafts are 36 and 3/8 long. Problem is I don't know if that is accurate info. I think I will try and put it all back together and see...

Here is a shot in the dark, does anyone have a steering shaft from a 68 cuda in the shop? I need to know what the un-collapsed measurement is.

Thanks.

Looks and feels like the shaft has not been collapsed. In my set up there is no lock collar nor is there a hole to put a roll pin through(on the steering shaft)I will try and put it back together and try and figure out why this happened. Everything was OK other than the collars being loose which...

Took the shaft out today. I have never done this before but it does not look like it is collapsed. Thew shaft is exactly 35 and 1/2 inches long as it sits in the vice. If that is right I guess I will put the whole shitaroo back together using the manual and instructions I have gathered. Thoughts?

Yup,makes sense. Let it been known I am not responsible for that cluster f#%K. As I recall the other day that snap ring was just sitting there when I took the wheel off. I was trying to decide whether I should go to a car show on Sat or go golfing. FORE!!! Thanks for the help guys, you may hear...

As you can see I do not have the shaft in to the shaft coupling as far as it should go. The lower column collar is too far from the dash, not sure whats going on there.Is there any way to adjust the column so the collar is in the right position? Not enough shaft to install the wheel., Looks like...

Will get some and post later. Thanks

After looking at several pics of a body steering column collars, it appears that mine are at least a couple of inches too far from the lower dash. So I presume the column is out of wack as the photos indicate the collars and therefore the column are much closer to the lower dash than mine. Not...

They are called steering column collars.

Sorry guess I did not explain, just after the steering wheel there are two covers, one would be the pernundle, with the park, reverse etc letters and the other one behind it, not sure what the correct name for these two parts. It seems mine does not fit close enough to the dash according to the...

Hey guys, does anyone have a photo of their lower steering column cover?, I need to see how close it is to the dash. Even a measurement will do. I can't get the steering wheel back on because there is not enough shaft to get the nut on. Can't seem to get the lower cover down the column enough...

Agreed.

Yup, I have done some poking on it. I has been bottomed out somewhere along the way as one section is flattened a bit.

One more.

I'm sure I know the answer already but here goes, would you replace the frame rail or could this be cleaned up and capped? Capping would be the easiest(for me) as I have never taken a front end off before nor am I able to do the welding myself and I am somewhat overwhelmed with the whole idea.I...

I don't know jack about the springs but I do have to compliment you on that car, it is looking freakin gorgeous, more pics please,wow!

I'm looking at repairing the same area on my dart. It is going in the shop this winter to start the resto. We need to find a good source of info, not sure I have got the cajolies to take this task on. Not sure how to determine if a cap will do the job or do I replace the rail. What is the...

I will be swapping that one wheel over before I start driving the swinger, hopefully next summer some time. Despertly searching for a home with a decent size garage or shop. If I don't find one there won't be any work going on at all,if I push the swinger in beside the fish thats it no room to...

Quick update on the wheel studs on the Swinger, turns out the front were right and the rear were still lefties :roll: neat trick. No busted studs but I did break one of the cragar nuts, snapped the sleave right behind the nut. Good thing as I was turning the wrong way at the time :shock:
