Thank you, I think I blundered into the correct installation but I want to try my micrometer to see the taper. My alignment guy talked about the taper but I though it was just the threaded part and not the hole. What is that natural finish you put on your parts? It looks great. Thanks again.

Thank you. I actually just bought one of those Harbor Freight digital micrometers for $20. That will be a good exercise for me. I don't have the engine in but it also looks like the idler and pitman arms are pretty much parallel.

Sorry to be a dummy but how do you know if the center link is installed correctly?

RTA that is damn nice. What do you call that yellow stuff on the nuts? I see you do have the riveted brakes. What is that stuff around the hub. Is that an abrasive? Your pad looks pretty close to the hub. Also, I bought the MBM kit with the Chinese junk. Are the spindles supposed to be exact...

Man, that is clean. Thank you.

Katfish that is interesting.... I use the 70 Plymouth SM for Belvedere Fury Barracuda and Valiant. I do have a Fig. 8 Removing and Installing brake shoes. It looks to me like the caliper is in the rear, however the (same shitty) picture shows the brake hose connector on the front side -- but I...

Thank you. A new bit of information has arrived :-). I'll go out to the garage and see how that figures in!

My service manual shows it in the rear.

Sorry to ask something that has probably been beaten to death. I have a 70 Cuda. I have the MBM drum to disc conversion kit. I have a 70 Cuda. 1. The MBM kit shows having the caliper to the rear of the wheel. (The welded-on bracket for the brake line is towards the rear of the wheel) (Pictured)...

Thank you all for your help. I am now moving along again. (Looks almost as nice as Ron's LOL).

I don't know where I was but I was in a Cadillac dealership looking at a Cadillac. I was sitting in it and the salesman told me "This car has a tilt steering wheel for more head room" and continued his spiel without missing a beat. That was probably 35 years ago and I haven't forgotten it.

Thank you... I forgot about ebay. I usually stay away from stuff with shipping. But I'll have check there also. In this case I need the power steering one though.

Thank you. I will have to contact that guy Cody but his video made it look challenging digging around behind the horn button... I think I would have to have him do it so there is shipping 2X. There are some guys at a shop in CA called Motech but I would have to take the steering out of the car.

Thank you so much. Your help and the help from the rest of the folks has been invaluable. Now that I really understand what happened I can proceed. It was heminut that identified that my steering shaft had been lengthened, obviously going from Power Steering to Manual Steering. Cody in his video...
