One of the studs holding the spare tire on the rear of my car is striped. How do I remove remove and replace both of them? Thanks Dick

I used an Innovate unit to set up my weber carb. After a couple of months my sensor would crap out. In the mean time it worked great.

When I shortened mine, I first calculated it in AutoCAD and found that 1-1/4" let the stops on the arms at the wheels touch just before the box ran out of movement. This didn't widen the turning radius at all.

It's between 0° and 1° on both sides.I get the same readings on the center of the axle and just behind the king pins. Possibly the radius arms are bent?

I have a F1 box and before that I had a 2 tooth box. Both of them wandered. There was less than 3/4 inch play in either box.

Ronn It just seems to wander around, around, ..... Already changed front and back tires. I think it got worse when I changed the holder for the rear of the radius rods from the rubber ball type to the stock type. The upper holder is thicker on the rubber ball type. Might just add enough caster...

Lately I have been having the front end wander as if in a strong side wind. I have checked the toe-in, camber, tire pressure and snugged up the adjustment on the steering box to no avail. I just put a combination square against the front axle. It showed a 1° tilt back at the top which should...

The belt on mine is a 5K435AP or 5PK1108. 21/32" wide by 44-1/8" long

The picture of the whole setup looks like the one I have in my car. I got mine from Tim Sheridan in Nunca, MI. His number is 616-837-6477 and his prices were good. His setup uses the stock bell housing, and doesn't have to cut the crossmember. I just cut off the upper and lower ears on...

I have mine converted to '35's. Not only is it 12" but the shoes are wider than the '32 to '34. Don't know what you can do if you need new drums.

tinkirk I had a shorter pitman arm on it from my 2 tooth box but it didn't go far enough on a left turn with the wheels straight ahead at the center of boxes travel. I now have an F100 box in it.

I changed the front string with one that is 1" lower than the stock spring. Now the tie rod and drag link rub each other. Has any one else have this problem and how did you solve it?

I like my 4 speed OD F150 transmission. I got mine from Tim Sheridan in Nunca, MI. His number is 616-837-6477 and his prices were good. His setup uses the stock bell housing, and doesn't have to cut the crossmember. I just cut off the upper and lower ears on the cover of the bell on the...

I use the ARP studs in my engine. The thing I like is the allen head socket in the top end. It's a lot easier to pull the head of you remove the nuts and then unscrew the studs. With this setup, I can remove and install the head without removing the fan and water pump.
