Thank you, I think I blundered into the correct installation but I want to try my micrometer to see the taper. My alignment guy talked about the taper but I though it was just the threaded part and not the hole. What is that natural finish you put on your parts? It looks great. Thanks again.

Thank you. I actually just bought one of those Harbor Freight digital micrometers for $20. That will be a good exercise for me. I don't have the engine in but it also looks like the idler and pitman arms are pretty much parallel.

Sorry to be a dummy but how do you know if the center link is installed correctly?

RTA that is damn nice. What do you call that yellow stuff on the nuts? I see you do have the riveted brakes. What is that stuff around the hub. Is that an abrasive? Your pad looks pretty close to the hub. Also, I bought the MBM kit with the Chinese junk. Are the spindles supposed to be exact...

Man, that is clean. Thank you.

Katfish that is interesting.... I use the 70 Plymouth SM for Belvedere Fury Barracuda and Valiant. I do have a Fig. 8 Removing and Installing brake shoes. It looks to me like the caliper is in the rear, however the (same shitty) picture shows the brake hose connector on the front side -- but I...

Thank you. A new bit of information has arrived :-). I'll go out to the garage and see how that figures in!

My service manual shows it in the rear.

Sorry to ask something that has probably been beaten to death. I have a 70 Cuda. I have the MBM drum to disc conversion kit. I have a 70 Cuda. 1. The MBM kit shows having the caliper to the rear of the wheel. (The welded-on bracket for the brake line is towards the rear of the wheel) (Pictured)...

Thank you all for your help. I am now moving along again. (Looks almost as nice as Ron's LOL).

I don't know where I was but I was in a Cadillac dealership looking at a Cadillac. I was sitting in it and the salesman told me "This car has a tilt steering wheel for more head room" and continued his spiel without missing a beat. That was probably 35 years ago and I haven't forgotten it.

Thank you... I forgot about ebay. I usually stay away from stuff with shipping. But I'll have check there also. In this case I need the power steering one though.

Thank you. I will have to contact that guy Cody but his video made it look challenging digging around behind the horn button... I think I would have to have him do it so there is shipping 2X. There are some guys at a shop in CA called Motech but I would have to take the steering out of the car.

Thank you so much. Your help and the help from the rest of the folks has been invaluable. Now that I really understand what happened I can proceed. It was heminut that identified that my steering shaft had been lengthened, obviously going from Power Steering to Manual Steering. Cody in his video...

Ron thank you so much for taking the time to upload the pictures. If you look at my last picture it does look like there is a sleeve welded on to my shaft. I have to examine whether the coupler has enough space to fit between the sleeve and the PS unit. Or maybe there is a coupler that has the...

I think heminut is on to something. I don't know a lot because there is no fender tag just the vin on the dash. I do know that it was an automatic converted to a 4 speed. It came with manual steering. It was a 340 car with a 440. The Z bar arrangement looked pretty shoddy when I took it apart...

Thank you. I will unbolt the steering column. It does look easy but the scope of the project just seems to keep growing.

Thank you so much for your help. Yes I have read that and that is what Bergman told me. I tried to tap on it but I didn't want to hit it too hard. Kindly look at the picture below. My steering column doesn't even look like what you are showing. What's going on here? If I take the steering column...

I have a 70 cuda and am trying to convert to power steering. I bought the Borgeson box and the supposed required custom coupler from Bergman. The whole thing is just way too long. The guy at Bergman told me to hammer the shaft in but it doesn't look like that will work since the shaft looks too...
