Oh okay. No, none of the bushings are from firm feel. I actually talked to them on the phone one time about reinforcing the lower control arms and powder coating them. They only deal in polyurethane. All these bushings are rubber.
A while back I purchased and gathered together all of these parts to do the front end on my Volare wagon. Unfortunately, the wagon is sold now and I have all these parts sitting around collecting dust. I'm willing to take $400 plus shipping for the entire bundle, including the control arms. I'm...
Early 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon. It is equipped with a pre-lean burn 318 and A904 transmission. The car sat out in the elements for over 20 years. The body needs a lot of help, it does have rust issues. However, I'm convinced the mileage is original as it reads almost 95,000. I've done quite a...
Just a basic principle, I learned from my HS auto shop tech. I'm sure power consumption varies due to conditions. Perhaps lean burn took control of the solenoid function in 78. So do I just get pictures or can I purchase some of these items?
So was there no a/c in 1978? Every school kid knows that the a/c compressor robs about 5 horse power and the idle needed to be bumped up to compensate. Idle stop solenoid technology seemed to run through the 80's why this gap here?
I guess thats how the Aussies advertised back in the days :eek:
Amazing how similar the rear is to my Volare Wagon.
I had a sudden wave of inspiration. A clone of the the 75 Holden as it appeared in the original mad max movie. :rolleyes:
Probably won't do it, but seemed like an...
The smaller one 1-59/64" is for our cars. Its cool, because on newegg they sell the Probuilt kit that includes the larger 2-9/64", which is for trucks and vans. That kit is about the same or less of some single ball joint sockets I shopped for out there. So I got that one, in case I might work...
If you are doing front end work
I just bought these, a good deal for what appears to be a smaller 1-59/64" and larger 2-9/64" upper ball joints.

Then there are these offered by Summit.
For smaller passenger car applications...
Okay, just be careful about welding near gas tanks, bad things can happen. Under normal circumstances a professional would say that the tank should be drained and all the excess vapors be given time to evaporate. I do suggest the oil pressure switch, this I do have a pic of. God forbid you are...
I Macgyvered a bracket to the fuel tank strap on the passenger side. I utilized two Simpson strong ties, short phillips head bolts, nuts, and locking washers I bought from the Home Depot. The placement seemed optimal as I was using a Mr. Gasket pump that required I mount it below the tank and...
