When I installed mine, I clipped the two ends together on the spring, fit the spring in the groove on the bottom and just kinda stretch rolled it up and over the top. Wasn't too hard of a project.

I'm glad you like em.........I never had any noise but I couldn't get mine to play well together. They took turns challenging my heart rate. I never knew if it was going to dive to the left or right when I had to make a quick application of the brakes. After new shoes, new cylinders and a...

You could possibly have a stone or something in that right side brake. Pull it off and see what is going on. Maybe a broken spring. By the way.....That spring on the outside of your drum was installed to deal with harmonic issues from what I have been told. I used to think it was to help cool...

Persistence pays dividends. Glad you had success.

That would be my guess. The regulator's job is to regulate the voltage between 13.8-14.2 volts. As long as you have a digital meter, check the case ground on your regulator. If it is not grounded properly, it don't have a good reference to regulate by. Over 15 volts will boil the water out of...

More than likely broken.....It will be the lower hinge. Look it over and compare to the right side door. You will see what the problem is. There are parts available to fix it.

Pretty sure Mopar grounded them all pretty much the same from the 50's and up. (Between the firewall and right rear of the head) I just checked my 60 Dart. Not sure if this wire is original. Since I restored my car back in the 80's I don't recall if I replaced it or not but that is where it is...

My car is a 60 Dodge but I would think the factory would have provided the mounting dimples back in 57 also. I only added the front belts in my car and did not check for the dimples for the rear mounts. I bought a set of aftermarket belts that came with the backing plates and hardware. Here are...

I bought a set of belts for my 60 Dart a couple years back from these guys. (Andover Restraints) I believe they are out of business now but have a couple sets left on Ebay. Might want to check them out. I believe the 74" belts work for the front and 60" for the rear seat. At least they look...

Here is another tip....If you already have the carpet installed, you don't want to drill a hole thru the carpet. What I did was drill a 1/4" hole in the dimple from underneath. Push a scratch awl up through the carpet then heat up a length of 1/4" pipe to melt a 5/8" hole in the carpet. Then...

I believe they were an option already in 57 but few cars got them. My 60 Dart did not have belts but the mounting spots were provided. Not sure about 57 but here is what to look for. Under the floor pan, look for some dimples up in the hump and to the rear of the front seat. Here are some pics...

I don't torque mine. Just hit the nut with an air wrench. If you want to torque it, you could drop the inspection cover and hold the converter or flywheel with a large screw driver.

The one I got is 3/4 gallon. (96oz) More than enough to do a 4bbl carb. It is pretty aggressive stuff and strong smelling too. Not surprised it could etch concrete. I have used it to clean a couple carbs then strain it back into the can using a cloth for a strainer.

This is what I use. Always does a good job. Costs about $50.00 on Ebay.

Still a ton of people out there un-educated about that. Just last year at a car show, I overheard a couple looking at my Charger. The gal asked. "What's a He me"?? He said. "Dunno". I thought about explaining it to them but I chalked it up to them being Jess shivvy folk.

I have the original M/C from my 60 Dart with power brakes. I ditched it in favor of the dual pot. I guess it could be rebuilt if needed. Yours if you can use it. It has the push rod with it.

Here is a pic of one on a 64 Imperial. Not sure if all got them or not but somewhere to start. I think some station wagons got them in the early 60's too. My 60 parts book lists the bar and hardware part numbers but not which vehicles got them. My 60 Dart has the holes in the frame for bolt on...

Well, I decided I'd better fix that leak. It is the upper shaft seal. I am wondering if I should have it rebuilt as long as it is already out. Do you recommend just replacing that seal or have the whole unit gone through? If so, any recommendations as to where to send it?

I got it apart. Mine has the roll pin. There was also about a half cup of PS oil that ran out on the floor when I pulled the column off. That upper seal must be leaking some. I have never had any oil leaking from the unit before so I'm not real sure it is something else I should deal with. My...

I have the service manual but it is not real clear how to remove the column. What started this is I believe that rubber spacer down in the fork area has worn out. I got a new one and thought I would replace it. So...It sounds like the column has to come off of the shaft in order to get to the...
