Marshall, free solutions are GREAT provided you follow them and fortunately, I have a tendency to do just that even at the expense of a couple extra washers! :) :)

Resolved the problem.....added 2 washers and a lock washer......bingo.....no more rubbing! Thanks all!

rotorwrench thank you.

gdmn852 thank you. the alignment seems fine. Tie rod looks Ok. steering lock to lock is a still a question.

Thank you Marshall. My tires are not Firestones. Actuating arms are straight. I will put a washer and lock washer and see what happens.

Any ideas what might be causing this? I have the stop the right way through the axle at the spindle with the correct nut. Only thing I noticed there is no lock washer on it? Also it is a full turn and a bit to right stop but at left it is a full turn and a quarter to stop. Thanks

wwirz Hey thanks. One other thing to investigate! Did the car not run well when cold? This one runs really nice until up to temp?

gdmn852 and Rob Doe....thank you for your responses. The pencil filter is an unknown at this point. Lower plate wire to upper plate is good. As I have mentioned all of the wiring is suspect. The plan is to rewire the entire car to stock. Get and install a good original ammeter and replace...
