but the parts book wont tell you they are 15/16" bore. Hard to find kits like Raybestos WK491 or equivalent

you trade low for highs, either way. dash speakers will have better fidelity, but kick panels better bass.

Well, yea, the rear (anti)sway bars have bends in them, to go over the differential. So the entire bar may not lay flat. But the end link (eye) tips generally do. Remove the bushing brackets and the bar outer ends and arms each lay flat on the ground, as in "on the same plane." I thought...

Agreed, the orange wire into the steering column supplies the gear selection lighting on a column shift, and would not necessarily be used with a floor shift car. From memory, the ignition switch key lamp is an option available on cars with specific light packages, connected via yellow wire on...

Do these get tweaked from use and abuse? the ones I have on the garage floor, now, seem to lay flat equally at both ends.

the "casting number" molded into the part may not be the same number in the dealer parts book.

you bring up a good point. what if... when installing a steering box, the position of the steering system within the box is not at center? we put the pitman arm and the steering input shaft the onto the nearest spline and call it good. I seem to recall there is a marking on the housing that...

and there are plenty of performance options for the 318 block. Many have built theirs up, when they had few options of another (larger) engine to drop in. headers, camshaft, ported heads, bigger intake, aluminum manifold, NOS, yada yada.

that isn't a bad # for a properly rebuilt one. freight may hurt if that's a factor. that isn't far from having one rebuilt by a shop, if you want some guarantee against a poorly built one with lots of whine and noise.

I see, now. thank you. yea, none of mine are tapered.

maybe a 7.25 (the smaller) rear end.

okay, but I cannot really tell what is missing in those tiny images. Let me know if you want pics of the broken 1970 grill I have. I would want to ship the whole thing. cheers

which parts do you seek? I have one that had some boxes stacked on top of it, and it split horizontally. But the nose was already broken from a rear-end collision. about 1 total square inch of pieces in the point center nose cone area are missing. It doesn't have that square chrome in the...

wait, are you saying the drive shaft varies in diameter across it's length? I always thought this was a uniform diameter on my 1970 shaft. The only clue to it's orientation I can recall, is a tiny counter-weight welded to the tube near the slip yoke at the transmission end.
