got the steering column stabbed back in tonight after work. it took 3 people. what a pain in the ***. I was in the car on the floorboard holding the steering column up, my homeboy was lining up the coupling onto the steering gear spindle, and my other homeboy was hitting the coupler with a hammer and block of wood.
it took some real effort to stab, but once in place, the roll pin went right back in flush thru the coupling, so I think its where its supposed to be.

mandatory photos.
I took one pic of the LCA and strut going together so dude could see how you have to take the torsion bar and LCA loose to get the strut out.
one pic the raising the lbj up to the spindle.
one pic of finished product.

you are correct sir!
its a 79-82? Camaro/firebird calipers and rotors on ECI hubs -
its the ECI disc brake kit.

so I took my car in today to get a little tune on it. I took it to an old man with a shop up in sachse that was recommended to me. he was genuinely sad that im so insistent on keeping a 2bbl carb and snorkel air cleaner. he knows how restricted it is. he doesn't even really want to sell me the 4bbl + intake hes not trying to milk me or anything like that,, he wants to see a 383 motor run proper hella fast and he knows a 2bbl with a snorkel cant breathe.
what do I do?
go buy an edlebrock 600 + rpm + kn filter setup and gain ~30hp instantly? or leave it stock.
damn.

I need your wife to call my wife, so she will tell me I can start restoring the 63 Imperial coupe I've had for 26 years.

thanks for being my guiding light commando.
I need to put any extra money into the bodywork, not in the motor.

aight so today, im at the exhaust shop - mcswain garage @ 121 Austin st garland in case anyone needs it - and my car is up on the lift, and im crawling around under there. they fixed my manifold leak for $50 - vs doing it myself in the driveway and braking header bolts and a half day and all that it was a done deal.
anyways so im looking around. I noticed that my steering idler arm has knockered the oil pan.
I show it to dude and we talk about it. we figure the oil pan is aftermarket and deeper than a stock one?
no sharp right turns for me until I work this out. what do you think?

Snap judgement .. aftermarket
Not too many stock chrome oil pans on Mopars that I can recall ;)
