My understanding is you dial in as much + caster as it will give you first and then hope to have some left when you set camber and toe. It's not unheard of for caster to go negative after setting camber to spec. I think to keep these boats centered up requires a lot more caster than spec'd...

That tool demonstrates there is no way you need an 80 ton press to install bearings. Kevin

My 66 New Yorker rear drums crossed to an early 80's D150 when they were still 5x4.5 bolt circle. Not visually exact but everything that matters was. Kevin

235 70 15s all the way around on our 65 wagon. I had 275 60 15 on my 66 New Yorker on 8 inch rims with 4" backspace. They were real close on the skirts but never rubbed. 4.5" BS would have been better. Kevin

Adjust the valve with the engine idling and both wheels off the ground. Before you start the engine, loosen the bolts just enough that you can move it tapping with a small hammer but can't move it by hand. If it's close to centered, the shaft will rotate slowly one way or the other with no load...

I would do a quick Google search for reviews on that clown before I wasted any time or money there. I've seen his performances at Carlisle. Complete Gongshow. Kevin

Master isn't seized is it? If you crack a line, will it pass fluid? Kevin

FMJ body spindles ie Aspen 5th Ave Mirada spindles can be swapped in as well as late B body and R body. Use the Cordoba caliper adapter to use the 11.75 B body rotors. All factory components actually designed to work together and parts available at any parts store anywhere. Dr. Diff sells repop...

I've never been a big fan of dog dishes but I have seen some combos where they seem to "suit", usually something with a street brawler vibe, big tires, big motor, not your grandmother's camshaft spec... My 66 had all that and I had Moon discs on it. I like the Road Wheel look and those factory...

FMJ body ie 5th Ave spindles are supposed to swap in without a lot of drama. Use the B body Cordoba caliper adapters and you get the 11.75 rotors too. All your replacement parts are at the corner parts store this way too. Kevin

What system are you looking to "upgrade"? Wilwood doesn't have a suitable kit for a car as heavy as a Cbody IMHO. None of their rotors are as thick as a factory 69-73 11.75 rotor at 1.25" thick. If you are talking about a Budd system, there is a procedure to install a Supra rotor that any...

I'm not sure a .810 thick rotor is a great idea for cars that crowd 5000 lbs. The factory rotor is 1.25" thick for a reason. Kevin

What diameter and thickness are the rotors? Kevin

Perfect excuse to get a set of 5th Ave spindles and convert to discs. Dr Diff repops the Cordoba caliper brackets so you can run the 11.75 rotors. If you like one stop shopping and not getting dirty, he can ship you repop spindles too with everything else you need. Good guy to deal with. Kevin

I haven't seen any of those coil over k frame replacement kits that didn't have bump steer and other geometry issues when used for other than drag race, go to cruise night type applications. Kevin

That makes your ride an ill handling POS and makes it a pain to put right again. One of those Ridetech systems is a cake and eat it too scenario albeit for a boatload of cash. I've seen their 66 Chevelle on an autocross course at a Goodguys show. A Chevelle is a long way down the list of...

Ridetech is probably who you want to talk to. They don't have any Cbody specific stuff but they have a 4 link B body kit that might be able to be modified to work for the rear. Their Shockwave units combine the air spring and adjustable shock. Very compact. Very not cheap either. Ridetech Home...

Just call Nigel. He's in Beaverton Ontario. National Moparts Kevin

So other than that pump being rather unsightly and probably noisy, was there another reason for a more complex system? My pump took up very little space and only required a hose and 12V source to operate. Similar to the above. Kevin
