    spindle left...spindle right. Crap!

    Just blew on the second coat of chassis black and realized my punch mark had disappeared. Can anyone tell me how to tell which spindle is driver and which is passenger, on a 71 Demon? My guess is the spindle angles back, to the rear of the car. Odds are...I'm guessin' wrong.

    front end rebuild

    Engine is out and I'm waiting for Brian at IMM to get my stroker done, so I figured now is the right time. Got the entire front end apart....I mean everything. The K frame is hanging from a rafter right now with a brand new coat of chassis paint drying. I'm a bit disappointed. All the bushings...

    power steering to manual sticker shock

    My 71 Demon has power steering and didn't come that way. That and header clearance has made me decide to convert to manual. I'm having an issue with the price of re-man'd manual steering boxes. HOLY CRAP! Hate to buy used, so who sells remanufactured boxes that ain't out to rape a guy?

    Steering column help.....yes or no

    Gonna put a new coupler on and also want to know about the lower column bearing/bushing. My car is a 71 Demon, 4 speed and right now.......I see nothing there. Some say there should be a bushing, some say they didn't come with one. Please let me know if I should have one down there or not.

    Flaming River coupler

    Just got my Flaming River coupler and install looks to be easy,,,,except for unbolting the column. Couldn't I just pull the steering wheel and hub, then just slide the actual steering out of the column a bit? I just replace my ignition switch and this way seem easier to me. Whaddaya think?

    Power steering box

    In the middle of a header install and was wondering what the locknut with the slotted screw is for on the top of my power steering assembly. Hoping it's adjustment for steering play, maybe?
