Thanks for the info.

Yup. This is my go to place for tech tips.

One of the reasons I want to replace the steering wheel, is because the crush can doesn't fit properly. There is a gap of about 1/2 inch between the crush can and the column. I removed the crush can to look at the splines. The splines have seen better days. The crush can looks like it was...

I'm thinking about replacing the steering wheel on my 70 Barracuda. Does anyone have experience with installing Grant steering wheels? If the crush can is not used, do you need to purchase the 2 inch spacer? I was looking at the installation instructions online. It uses a plastic piece to cancel...

Thanks for the info.

Is this bearing specific for the steering shaft or is it a generic bearing? How is it held in place? If it's generic, do you have the bearing size? Thanks

I did something similar. I used wood wedges. It worked great. Thanks

I found out why my horn was going off. The insulation coating under the horn contact ring had worn off. I was wondering what the greenish material was in my steering column was.

I didn't remove the steering wheel. I removed the mount below the dash and loosened the base plate. I'm going to center the steering shaft and check the wiring for the horn. Thanks.

I looked in the engine bay and noticed that the steering shaft is not centered and rubbing on the piece around it (not sure what that part is called). This is probably causing the steering wheel to have resistance. Where did you get the bearing? I looked and I didn't see the plastic piece you...

I loosen my steering column at the firewall and under the dash, when I removed my dash. After I reinstalled the dash, I noticed that my steering has some resistance when I turn the steering wheel, with the front wheels off the ground. I also noticed my horn goes off when I make a left or right...

Thanks, this article is very helpful.

The Jegs engine comes with a harmonic balancer and flex plate. It looks like it has provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. The next upgrade comes with a carb and fuel pump. Thanks.

I'm thinking about replacing my 340 (1973) with a later model 360 Magnum. The engine is in a 70 Barracuda that originally had a 383. It was converted to a AAR clone. Will the accessories (alternator, power steering pump) bolt on without modifications? Or, will I have to replace the pulleys with...

That's what I thought. I think I will probably replace the whole assembly. I can't believe the repop reflector is over $500. Thanks
