    Lets talk Autocross

    With this years MATS coming up I will admit it! I have been jealous watching the autocross guys having a blast going around cones in Vegas. So I'm thinking about maybe taking the budget Dart this year and participating in some of that fun. I have already made a few handling and braking...

    How much clearance do you have before hitting the bump stops on your lower arms?

    I run my "A" body car right on the factory rubber bump stop with little to no clearance. How much clearance do you run on your car before hitting the lower control arm bump stop to the frame in the front suspension?

    Steering wheel question

    I'm thinking this steering wheel should be rotated 180 degrees for normal straight line driving. Is that correct or is in the normal position now? Never had one of these wheels before.

    Rim Blow Steering Wheel Adapters

    Are they all the same? Reason I ask is, I bought one from the swap meet and it doesn't seem to fit the 72 Dart steering column. Looks close to right size but the splines don't even attempt to slip together. No notches or anything I can see in the splines.

    Working on the saginaw power steering pump shim install. My pump had shims totaling .055 from the factory. I made up a new shim at .075 My question is according to the mopar action article it looks like they used .076 total from the slant six pump. Or did they add .076 to the factory shims...

    74 Front factory sway bar question

    I have never owned or put much thought to the 73 and later A bodies. However things are a changing, and now I'm wondering if these cars came stock with front sway bars or if it was still optional equipment in the later year models. So anybody know the scoop on the later A body sway bar?

    Spring relocation box position

    The spring relocation boxes are wider than the frame by a 1/2" or so each side. Im thinking they are to be installed centered under each frame rail about a 1/4 over hanging the frame on each side that would make them about 35-3/4" center to center between them just like the frame rails. Does...

    Super stock springs vs Caltrac

    When I bought my Dart I was kind of happy it had the A body Mopar super stock leaf springs. Now that I have driven the car around town I must say they may be great for racing but they ride like driving an empty dump truck. On my next project car a 65 Valiant I was going to use the Caltrac...

    SS leaf springs de-arched

    I bought a 68 Dart with SS leaf springs and would like to lower the back down to my liking. If I take off the SS springs and have them de-arched to lower the rear of the car 2.5" does that ruin the leaf spring for racing purposes? Anybody else done this with there SS springs? Also...

    Upper and lower control arms

    A body upper and lower control arms. Are they all interchangeable and able to be mix and matched? Pre 72 to say 65 is what I'm questioning regardless if they were 9", 10" drums or disc brake? I'm thinking just the lower ball joint is specific to the spindle that is being used and the arms...

    Spring sliders

    Thinking about using these with Caltracts. Looks like they would also lower the car by maybe an 1" or more by removing the rear hanger. Any thoughts on them?
