Correct.

What I don't remember for sure about my 75 318 Dart to 85 four-barrel carb 360 Volare motor swap into the Dart. The 360 heads have bigger valves and flow better but have bigger chambers that would reduce compression if used on the 75 318 motor. Don't know about the 69 318 motor. I changed the...

Disconnect the shocks at the bottom mount and see what the ride height is before you buy new shocks.

Two to four inches of rise over good condition stock height non sagging springs may need only about 60 to 80 pounds air pressure. But, if a big Mopar is already sagging 4 inches, it would need north of 120 pounds of air just to get it back to stock height plus two inches. Have at it. And expect...

Yes.

The seats from around 2001 Buick and Cadillac work well. They have all the belts and controls on the seat.

No. Yes. Maybe. It's calibrated with a spring and ball. If that valve completely fails to restrict "any" flow return, there could be no pressure in the box. So, no assist. A partial failure would provide too much assist or to little assist. Stuck wide open would be very little to no assist...

Study the effect that the reaction springs and reaction spring washers in the box power train have on the effect of the steering assist response. If soft reaction springs are used, then the effort to turn the wheel will be increased at all speeds and rpm and the steering assist will be delayed...

I just receiver one of those $120 Quadrajet electric choke carburetor copies from Temu/eBay. I'm goanna stick it on my 67 Toronado with 425 motor (it's a drop on) and see if it will run the motor reasonably well. If so, I'm going to suffer the rigmarole of trying/fitting it on my 72 New Yorker...

I see no benefit for another bearing. To the contrary, because 4 bearings instead of two would increase the likelihood (chipping) of a bearing failure. And then they would both require replacement if either one fails. Parts left out cost no money and cause no problems, according to that GM...

The proper tools for a home hobbyist are right there in the average toolbox. A wrench. Yes, I have the vacuum pump, one-way valves, pressure bleeder, gravity and a few more. We use some of them in the service bays, because they are often faster.

Yes, I totally understand the complicated situation. I hope it doesn't prove to be a big major pain in the neck. There is a fine line between a just good enough and a marvelous steering experience with these Mopar's.

I'm concerned about the pully coming off, and will there be a repeat performance. I also think that the burden should be on the rebuilder to diagnose and correct the several problems in situ. In other words, this should be a drive it in and drop it off and pick it up fixed. Because, it was an...

Don't rebuild a master cylinder or wheel cylinder. Do install new master and wheel cylinders. Don't reinstall a single pot master cylinder. Do perform a twin pot master cylinder upgrade at this time. I wouldn't drive a car with a single pot master cylinder more than 20 mph. There it is...

Was the system performance satisfactory prior to the rebuild with the exception of the fluid leaks? In other words, was it just fine but leaking?
