    power steering pump leaking?

    No, I ordered the Saginaw pump which I understand to be correct for my 340 72 Demon.

    power steering pump leaking?

    Just ordered a Jegs pump for $121.00. They also had a Right Stuff pump for $161.00, and the Jegs guy told me that the Jegs one is the same pump without the Right Stuff Decal on it? He also told me they are made in the USA and are tested better than the cheap parts store pumps that sell for...

    power steering pump leaking?

    It is a Saginaw pump which I researched to be correct for a 340 motor with or without a/c. Didn't last very long. I wonder if the synthetic fluid I put in the newly remanufactured pump as well as a rebuild Firm Feel gearbox had anything to do with the leak?? I was told synthetic would run...

    front end alignment

    Yes. That is exactly how my ride feels. I left the mechanic the Mopar 72 service manual which shows the torsion bar ride height adjustment and I also printed the specs posted earlier for the radial tires right in the book, so I am wondering if this guy ever even looked at it?? They also...

    front end alignment

    As I stated in my post. I have been doing business in this garage for 30 years. I asked them to look it over as every nut bolt and cotter pin is brand new and I wanted them (because they are suppose to be professionals) to check over my work and do what they feel needs to be done to assure the...

    front end alignment

    Yup. He loved my car. Told me how awesome it sounded. Asked me if I still had my T/A. Told me how I always do real nice work on my cars. Does all my work for my entire Family. Small shop, and guy loves Mopars. Must have been real busy that day. But I took it there because we talked...

    front end alignment

    I probably should have. I just intended to have my local mechanic do that when he did the alignment. I forgot to tell him. simple....

    front end alignment

    Had the power steering box rebuilt by firm feel with what they called the police package which is suppose to be a more feelable steer and the front seems to track ok, but I only can compare it to my ebody challenger and it is a little floaty on the road. I am just getting to adjusting the...

    front end alignment

    The first trip down the road was to the local shop. I printed and gave the mechanic the specs that he should set my front end. I told him camber -0.5 caster +2.5 and toe in 1/16" to 1/8". I installed all the front end components and my first ride was to the shop which is 1/2 block down the...

    front end alignment

    Just had my newly installed front end aligned by my local shop. Looked under there today and staring at me was all the brand new components and all these nice grease fittings and none of them had any grease coming out of them? I know a front end alignment does not include grease but would you...

    Front Strut adjustment on Demon?

    My front end guy put me on his alignment machine and told me he got it dead on. I explained to him I had installed new moog offset bushings on the upper. New lower control arm spindles. I have 17" x 7" om\n trhe front and 17" x 8" on the back with nitto tires.

    Front Strut adjustment on Demon?

    Just had my all new front end aligned by me mechanic. Seems to look and track nicely. But my drivers side tire is just clipping the lower inside fender lip when I back up and turn the wheel. I noticed that the space between my fender and my tire in that area is about 2". When I look at the...

    lower control arm repair

    Yes, I thought the same when I had mine pressed on at the machine shop. Asked the mechanic why there was a space there. He said because there is a step that the stud presses up to and stops which actually leaves that space making it appear he did not push it all the way on? Live and learn...

    steering column install w/dougs headers?

    Hi, Just finished restoring the steering column and slid it through the hole and two things immediately showed themselves. First I realized I needed to be sure the shaft spline was in line before proceeding to try and tap the coupler on the steering box. Second, it appears that having the...

    another steering column puzzle??

    I just tapped it out with a of the bottom so it is out about 4" now? I guess I will have to bolt it in to see if I went far enough out?? I am also noticing that there is basically two tubes and a solid shaft on my 72 Demon column. The outer tube has a mesh style center area that looks to be...

    another steering column puzzle??

    NO changes. Same steering column that fir perfectly before I played with it. Those plugs look like they are right in the slits where they belong> My issue is, even If I could pull that inner collapsible shaft down, that would make the solid shaft end protrude actually less and create more...

    another steering column puzzle??

    While I had my column out during resto work, I decided to take it apart and also restore it as best I can. So I took it all apart and blasted and painted the parts. Put it back together and I am now trying to install the lower shaft coupler to steering box. What I am finding is that the...

    steering column disassembly?

    Hey, your set screw theory was correct. There is a small set screw visible thru the hole in the shift lever housing. Loosened that, tap tap tap and off she comes. Last piece of the puzzle. Thank God. Now to remember how it goes back together. I did take some pictures. I do have a manual...

    steering column disassembly?

    I thought "upper lower" was going to be a problem!! So, it appears that the shift lever is welded to the shift tube. The only thing left up the top end is the lower 1/3 section of the cast housing. I removed three screws that appeared to hold that housing to the tube. Now what? Do I have...

    steering column disassembly?

    Got most of my 72 Demon column apart. It has the shifter. I am trying to get the outer tube housing that has the mesh out from the inner tube part. I do still have the lower top assembly half still in place. I removed three long screws that appeared to hold it to the column tube? Do I need to...

    Shaft collar removal

    OK, I see it now. I will pop that cover off tomorrow and go at it. Thanks

    Shaft collar removal

    My 72 demon top end shaft plate appears to have three crimped areas to hold it on. I read elsewhere that there is a shaft collar pin and bushing, but do not see it here. There is a c clip in a groove but that does not appear to have anything to do with the shaft plate removal. It wiggles...

    correct power steering hose??

    I got the oem power steering box. I got the correct brackets for a Saginaw pump. I ordered what suppose to be a Saginaw pump for a stock 340 Demon from rock auto. I do not have a hose which will fit between the back of the pump and the Kframe motor mount tabs. Seems like there is about 1.5"...

    72 Demon Power steering hose

    Mine was missing, so I bought a Saginaw pump for my car. It appears that the threaded pressure hose location on the back looks at the Kframe motor mount area and is only about 1.5" from it. I have a few old hoses and they all seem to take a longer sweeping turn that will hit the kframe. Can...
