I was looking at Rockauto to get an idea of what a power steering pump would cost. I was truly surprised at how many different pumps that they have. How can I actually tell which pump that I have? I was told by a friend that even the Saginal Pumps from a Truck would work. Is that true? they do...

Volare1977, Yes the front end is in good shape, I had it aligned a year ago. I do have the front dropped lower than normal. I googled the Saginaw pump, it looks like to add the kit I would remove the High Pressure line from the back side and then remove the Nut where the line was attached. When...

the steering is too sensitive. At 50-60 MPH a sneeze could be dangerous. it responds very quickly to any actions. It is manageable but I'm interested if I have any options. There is no play in the linkages. Stiffer as volare1977 suggests is worth looking into. I did put an Autozone rebuilt...

77 Diplomat, It has very sensitive steering. Is there any thing that can be done to make it NOT so sensitive?

If anyone runs across a 78-81 (maybe to 89) saginal Tilt/Telescopic column, I'm seeking a few misc parts. The lever to lock the telescopic, and the pin in the core that locks it. the two circled parts.

Thank you guys. I went ahead and bought a Proform 66488 It worked flawlessly and only took a few minutes to install the bushing. The hardest part was leaning over the fenders. I now would like to sell the tool for $80 and I will pay shipping. I prefer paypal. dkamp

Thank you Thohean!

From my limited knowledge only the DuraBond AD-584 does not need Burnished. All others do. I talked to the Local dealer mechanic, and he said he recommended they all be burnished, or the surface may prematurely wear the intermediate shaft. The only Installer tools I am aware of is the SPX...

Would anyone consider Loaning/Renting me the Bushing Install tool? I could send you a PayPal $150 and when you get it back from me, you send me the money minus your rent fee. David

Confirmed the TDC, The Timing mark was at the correct location. After I got it Off, the Rubber on the Back was cracked quite a bit, but I did notice the Timing Cover Seal left a scoring, so I decided to buy a new Balancer to eliminate a potential leak since I'm also replacing that seal and Chain...

I was wondering the need to replace a Harmonic Balancer/Damper on a Stock engine? How do I know "when" to replace it other than the obvious physical damage? If the rubber has very small cracks, is that a reason? I'm replacing the Timing chain set now, is that a reason even if no scoring on the...

If you are referring to the Ping wire for Coil 12V, I added a Relay. The 12V from Alternator goes to the relay and then to the Coil. The Connections for this is pin 30 of the relay goes to Alternator 12V source. Pin 87 (that is Normally Open) goes to the Pink coil wire. This is switched by...

I did this: Stripped the Mopar box, added the GM. Made a Heatsink from 1/8 Aluminum and used the heatsink compound that primary goal was to keep it as Mopar looking as possible. For the Coil I used an e-core that the Primary was .5 Ohms from a Chevy S10 Blazer. I had to reverse the Distributor...

Here is a very simple diagram I created on my 86 D150. Hopefully it might help you. dkamp
