Will the conical washers and nuts from 7.25 shock plates fit 8.75 shock plates? Are they the same? If not, where can I get 4 washers and 2 nuts for 8.75 shock plates? Thanks!

My Scamp had air shocks on it when i bought it (can't recall the brand but they were orange). Someone did this to overcome the fact that the rear leaf springs are shot. I took them off and put KYB's on, and now the rear is draggin ***. I have new MP heavy duty springs to put on, but have to tend...

Yes, the '73-up pitman stud will go in from the top, facing down. His is the older year going from the bottom up, but with a '73-up center link. Get a '73-up pitman arm and it'll probably lower than whole tie rod end down some. That's why the driver side is really off, and the passenger/idler...

MR4V's is the '73-up center link. mr68gts is the 67-72 type. I have the older style on my '71 Scamp as well, with a-body tie rod ends. Yet mine looks like the passenger side is closer than the driver side. These pics I took a while ago, and the front end is jacked up so no weight on the front...

Got some measurements, and more clues. The sector shaft size is 15/16". Drop height from the face of the pitman sector shaft to the face of the mounting stud is 3-11/16". There are also the numbers 14-183 and a diamond shaped marking with a 1 on the arm as well. See the following pics. (Ignore...

I'll have to check. I've done the research before and believed I found that I have the 72-down power steering box. BTW, I've looked at those pictures on bigblockdart.com, and those are just manual steering boxes shown, correct? (That site has a lot of good info, even if you aren't putting a big...

Might be the manual steering box for those years then. My car is power steering. I don't have the hex nut that came with this arm.

Figured I'd post this over here too... Anyone know what this pitman arm is for? I bought it on eBay years ago, advertised as a 68-72 a-body part, but it doesn't fit my '71 Scamp. It was too small for the steering box sector shaft.

I will x3 that. I have sway bar and LCAs from a '73 Duster on my '71. It already had the later k-frame when I bought it so it worked out.

This is similar to how I did it. My homemade clamps didn't work quite that good so I had a bit of a fight to get them out.

I believe you want to set final torque on the torsion bars with the car tires setting on the ground and therefore loading the suspension with the car weight. You can start applying some torque with it jacked up first, so when you put the car down it doesn't drop completely to the ground with no...

Usually if replacing with poly bushings, you don't remove the outer metal sleeve as it has to be reused. Only if replacing with OEM rubber do they come out. This part of a poly suspension rebuild has been a thing of debate, as people have had a hard time getting them to stay in place. I found...

I went with POR-15 on my car. It works great on parts that have rusted up pretty good and have a very rough surface. Smooth surfaces don't work as well, even if you've prepped with the marine clean, metal ready, etc etc.... In my experience it will still peel. Once it's cured for a while, it is...

Well it didn't fit my a-body with a 318 small block. Sector shaft hole is too small (just slightly, but it is smaller), and the center link stud is shorter. But, if anyone is interested in it, please let me know as it's for sale. What I paid for it, $30 plus shipping.

I don't know but I have a mystery mopar pitman arm that I have been told is for a 1967 a-body. When I bought it, I was first told it was for a 70-72 a-body, but the sector shaft hole is too small, as well as the stud being slightly shorter. Only id numbers on it are 14-183. If you or anyone else...

Those poly bushings are a PITA, aren't they? I've heard the stories about the LCA poly bushings. I just hope mine stay put and dont cause the clunking around like I've heard they can do. I actually had to put a clamp to the LCAs to hold the bushings in place, and then apply the torque to the...

If you have a '73-up k-member, you'll use a '73-up swaybar. This applies for both factory and aftermarket. I put a factory swaybar on my '71 Scamp (it has the '73-up k-frame) with factory LCAs with the tabs. I'm not sure about the aftermarket using the tabs. I believe depending on the mfgr, some...
