Re: 72 Ultra Orange - Bucket List Restomod

There also looks to be a lot on material there, you could potentially counter bore a slightly larger diameter hole at the top to create clearance, then re tap to create a deeper set.

Re: High beam lever

I haven't had mine apart in a very long time, but from what I remember, yes, there are a set of contacts that can be cleaned and or adjusted to make a better connection.

Nice car and a very good place to sell. Though they have really put unrealistic expectations on buyers, selling you can get 10%-20% over market value. I sold my very rusty northeast Dodge Power Wagon for easily 30% more than what I would have gotten locally. GLWS.

Well you were absolutely correct. I pulled the linkage out the way I had it put back as I took pictures of it, but I 180ed the whole thing , reinstalled, and it’s running right now. Thanks!

Re: Wiper Linkage Jamming to Body

You meant the link from the motor that connects to the wiper assembly? I set up the wiper assembly at their resting point and then I have connected the link at the 9, 12, 3 and 6 o’clock positions. I’ll give it another pass and see. It’s got to something stupid.

Wiper Linkage Jamming to Body

When I took it apart, I disconnected the 10mm nut from the motor, pulled out the motor then the wiper assembly in one piece to clean and lube. The wheel boxes were rusted to the shafts so those were taken apart to be lubed and reassembled. I took the motor apart and lubed everything, the “park” mode...

Re: Lifted Suspension, Change in Steering

Good call on the toe. I strung the car to adjust it and was at about 1” total.”, what’s the crossmember height on a stock car, I was wondering at what point do the bump steer spacers start working against you ?

Re: Dirt/Tarmac Tires

Mine look more like the WS80 you posted (same pattern configuration) but with better siping on the outside blocks.
