Working on my 66 Dart 270 series. This car's been heavily modified and I plan on doing a steering upgrade as well. This was a factory manual steer car with shifter on the column. I've already modified the column to eliminate the column shifter and I've shortened the column housing so it just...

My 66 Dart has manual steering in it now. I have purchased a new Power steering box, Pump and bracket kit as well as a lower pulley. Should be everything I need to do that part of the conversion. I know i will need to change the steering shaft and coupling to make things work. I have what I...

Working on a 1966 dart, has manual steering but inqant to switch to ps. I have a ps box but I'd like to have it rebuilt before I put it on. Has anyone ever rebuilt a box, what's all involved as for special tools, should I tackle it myself or send it out? I got a rebuild kit from NAPA. I've neve...

Looking for information for my 66 Dart. I am thinking about going to PS from the manual steering. I have a ps box and also a ps column and coupler. Was wondering if I would have to change any other items such as steering linkage? I thought i had read before that you do but didn't find anything...

Working on a 98 Dodge ram 1500 4wd. Ive checked the Ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, idler and pitman arm. All seem tight with no play. Wheel bearings are good and I dont see play in drag link. So Im thinking its time to make a steering box adjustment. The tires a new. The truck has...

I wasnt sure if this should go into the exhaust section or here in steering, but I am working on a 66 Dart with manual steering. I installed a set of TTI headers and I am going to be putting the steering column back into place. In trying to line up the coupling it appears that one of the header...

As you might have seen I couldnt find my new rebuild kit the other night. I have found it and when I went to install the new parts I found that the original pin that goes thru the shaft had a diameter of .335 and the new one is .330. That means that the new pin wont be tight so I cant use it...

A few months ago there was a member on here that was selling rebuild kits for the steering coupler. Since my column was out I thought I would do a rebuild so I bought the kit. Price was right, it was shipped very quick but now the problem......... I cant find it! I put it somewhere that I would...

Im thinking I might want to have the 8 3/4" rear in my 66 Dart narrowed do to clearance issues. I bought new axles from moser back about 15 months ago and havent used them yet. The few questions are: can I cut the splines shorter or would they need to be resplined once cut? Is narrowing...

Ive read all posts on setting the rear angle. I guess its time to weld my saddles tight and I want to make sure I have used the correct method to setting my angle. I know where I took the pictures I am a little on the strong side and have since moved it to be at 6* instead of 8*to 9* as it shows...

Just trying to get the rear end completed and Ive checked the torque specs for the nuts on the u-bolts. I see they are 45 ft lbs. I have aftermarket from mancini and was wondering if they should still be at 45. Also they came with nuts only and no lock washers. Should I use lock washers or just...

I had purchased a pair of 1 1/2" spacers to try to get my tires higher into the wheel wells. Tonight I put them on to see how they fit and was wondering if anyone else has used spacers. Also the ones I got are aluminum and I have heard some are steel. Does this make any difference and when...

Before I paint the engine compartment I wanted to fit everything together so if any modifications were needed I wouldnt have to redo newly painted areas. For the most part things fit fairly well. I have 2 questions tonight, first is, are the torsion bars the same front to back and left to right...

I need to find where I can buy the rubber seals that go on the front side of the torsion bar that covers the snap ring. I need to buy a pair and NAPA can not supply them. Was wondering what they are called and if anyone has a name of a supplier. Thanks Rod

I need to buy shocks for the 66 Dart. I will be doing some drag racing with this car, probably 2 - 3 times a year. I will be driving on the street approximately 1500 miles per year, including at least 2 trips that will be 200 miles each way. I am looking at some racing shocks that are adjustable...
