Drove the Valiant from its purchase point of Port Angelis (state of Washington) to La Paz, BCS, Mexico (with a stop of several years in California) without having had even a flat tire (2,250 miles). Since then, only an occaisonal 20 mile round trip to an annual local car show. However, during...

Forum member "grimreaper" posted this data on an old thread. I understand the '65 Barracuda Formula S had stiffer torsion bars than the standard Barracuda. I wonder which bars the Formula S was equipped with? My formula S with the 273 Commando has (had) factory A/C if that makes a difference...

I have found two of these items, new in the original package. Anyone know if there is a Mopar application for them? Thank you. https://www.autozone.com/suspension-steering-tire-and-wheel/sway-bar-link/p/duralast-sway-bar-link-sl210/226565_0_0

Another episode today of "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" I have been looking forward to premiering my Lisle 34550 wheel bearing packer for quite some time. Found an almost full can of stringy heavy duty grease and filled the Lisle about half full. Following directions to the letter, but no...

Well put together from Australia. However, I am not sure this applies to shocks mounted at an angle (which most are). I have not seen any vertically mounted rear shocks on Mopars. https://www.pedders.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/PED3415GTechstop16_03-Shock-Absorber-Length.pdf

The shop that I trusted to augment my leaf springs for the '65 Formula S went and put a full leaf on both sides. The new leaf looks like it may be a larger "caliber" than the factory used, at least on the ends where there is very little "bevel" (new leaf in photo #1 is second from the right, a...

This power steering pump was attached to the '65 Formula S when I purchased it and I have no idea if it is original to the vehicle or if it is a replacement from another year/model. Anyone expert enough to classify this hose fitting and tell us if it seals with/without an o-ring? Thank you.

Re-installed the factory stabilizer bar on the '65 Formula S today. I read on the internet (which I take with a grain of salt) a general answer was to tighten the end links until the rubbers squeeze just enough to pass the diameter of the washers, maybe 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. Then back in...

Getting reading to repaint the torsion bars. After degreasing them I made two observations. #1) It appears the last time they were painted, the paint ran down to the bottom of the bar (gravity) because the paint is not smooth on the side that faces the ground. This could have been a factory...

We added a full leaf to the rear suspension of the '65 Formula S (now have seven-photo #1). The rear end is now noticeably higher (photo #3) than the stock attitude (stock photo #2). Currently, the front suspension is up against the rubber stops with the engine/transmission not installed. I am...

The engine block in in the '65 Formula S is a 1980 318 and the Federal p/s pump is of unknown origin. This '65 has some strange p/s plumbing. The steering column has the original gold paint, but it looks like a bolt is being used it place of what I thought was normally a pin. The return hose...

The bracket bolt on the inside of this Federal power steering pump looks to have had a plastic washer (see foto #1). To the best of my knowledge, such washers are used to "seal" something. Concerned about a future power steering fluid leak without an adequate seal there, I filled the reservoir...

Yesterday we had 6 leaf rear suspension, today we have 7 leaf rear suspension (thanks to a local shop). The rubber rear shackle bushing was replaced, the front bushing still solid enough as is. Should be interesting to see any change in ride height or firmer feel in the '65 Formula S (489 case...

Does your pump have a dipstick? Mine does not.
