    68 Newport. Tightening up the steering

    Guess this would be a drive line question. I've rebuilt my steering pump and my steering gear box. New pitman arm. And some new bushings. I just can't seem to dial out a ton of play in the steering wheel. I know it'll never be rack and pinion but there's gotta be a way to tighten it up to not be...

    Is my external efi fuel pump causing vapor lock?

    I did replace the fuel pump last year. Feel like I've had this same problem with 2 different pumps. I did buy a pertronix distributor and coil and i did set up the wiring so it wouldn't short if left on too long. I suppose it doesn't hurt to test the pump again and the spark but I'm pretty...
