    power steering box leaking from plates on top

    I have a 71 dart, power steering box is leaking from the plates that bolt to the top. I am not sure Which plate is leaking yet. Sorry for not knowing what they are. Is it ok to remove them and check them for problems and maybe apply a thin layer of gasket sealer? Are there any gaskets that can...

    Car goes sideways?

    When ever I leave a light and break traction my car wants to go sideways. Usually it grabs until the rpm's get under him and then it's tries to walk into the other lane. (just the rear tires) I have to let up to avoid a serious fishtail and loss of control. Would the suregrip clutches cause...

    power steering question again

    On my 70 Dart Swinger Previous owner had the pressure line removed and screwed a plug into the pump. Never had a chance to drive it because it would not start. Not sure what to do. Should I leave the steering box in and hope its good? Not sure if the line was removed because the steering box was...

    70 swinger power steering

    I just finished pulling out the 318 in my 70 swinger and the power steering line was not a screw in type high pressure hose. It just had the spring compression clamps on a piece of power steering hose at both ends. Is this a factory configuration or did PO do a hack job. I thought the power...

    torsion bar ?

    My torsion bars are marked left/right, I know the left goes on the drivers side. Only thing I'm not sure of is which end goes towards the front of the vehicle. Does the marking with the left and right go towards the back where the retainers are?

    addco rear sway bar install

    I am getting ready to install my rear sway bar on my 63 dart and I noticed in the install kit it has both a spacer and a spring that I assume goes in between the upper and lower end link bushings to provide the proper spacing distance between the end link bushings. My question is that it looks...

    Upper control arm cam bolt

    I was "tweaking" my upper control arms and tightened the cam bolt nut too tight and stripped the nut. If I need the cam bolt, does anyone know where to get them for early a-bodies? It's the one that has the eccentric welded to it and goes through the upper control bushing and used to adjust the...

    early a traction bars

    anyone know where to get traction bars for an early a? I have converted to an 8 3/4 rear so I'm mostly worried about the length. Will the ones at lakewood listed as universal 28" work?

    early a with a v-8

    Is it just me or are there more of you that feel the early A spindles and small ball joints are just not up to par for a v-8 swap? Don't get me wrong, I know it will work. I have been driving my dart with a wilwood disc kit attached to my original spindles and it seems to be holding up to the...

    another alignment question

    I read in a previous post that it's important to set up the ride height before the alignment is done. I have a 63 dart with wilwood disc brakes and 15" tires. My question is, will the ride height be altered because of this and how should I check it? I found a site with the service manual that...
