so i tried adjusting the spool valve and it didn't work. off to be rebuilt.

thanks a lot Lee, i'll try that. i did have the valve spool apart. i'll try backing the nut out a little.

thanks

in an effort to save myself $500+ i decided to tackle rebuilding the steering box in my '59. i had developed a leaky seal because the power steering pump didn't have a flow reducer in it to limit the system to 2 gallons per minute. i changed the two shaft seals successfully. i re-assembled it accord...

i got it somewhat apart but i don't have the correct tools to change the seal without damaging anything. when i put it back together i couldn't get it so line up just right so i'm gonna let a pro tackle this one. i got a lead on a place, gonna call them later today.

i had my steering box rebuild by mark II several years ago. it has developed a leak at the spline where the rag joint mates with the column. does any one have the name of the rebuilder that mark II uses or can you recommend a rebuilder? i found red head steering gears on a forum search and am waitin...

that is some valuable information. i replaced all of the air ride kit-included fittings with fittings from switch suspension with the loctite sealant. i think i had a false sense of security by installing those air ride fittings with the red sealant on them. i had nothing but leaks with those. i use...

thats what i used and it works great! i resealed all 4 air bags and they hold air for weeks. it has to set for 24 hours before you put air thru it. unlike teflon tape where you can use it immediately, that loctite has to set for 24 hours. ive been posting to my instagram lately if you want to see up...

the spring can go in either direction. the motor head with the gear is different than your 62. the gear assembly is a mirror image for the opposite sides. dan, thanks, i assumed that was the case. these windows are heavyyy and im sure they go down very easy. next step is to order glass. anyone have ...

happy holidays everyone. i"m in the process of re-installing the window regulators in my '59 and i'm unsure which way the coil spring goes on these regulators. the parts manual doesn't show much and i don't have pictures of my quarter window assemblies. just the 2 doors. can someone point me in...

Yes that’s the polishing kit I bought. Thanks for the tips guys!

hello, i picked up an aluminum polishing kit from harbor freight to polish my radiator fan shroud, and eventually polish the radiator. its an assortment of cotton wheels of different diameter on 1/4" shafts. i'm using it with an air angle grinder. i started with the brown compound, then the whi...

i got my shipment of fittings and hose from switch suspension. much nicer fittings than the ride tech ones. the loctite that they suggest is tricky. it MUST set for 24 hours otherwise they will leak. i tested the loctite on my air line fittings for my air tools, let them set overnight, and they hold...

thanks jason for replying. i have all ride tech stuff (valves, 1/4 lines, shockwaves in front and i think 224 bags in back, ride tech digital control panel). all the fittings are teflon taped. the fittings and hoses are DOT approved. they had the red sealant on them and they all leaked. i had one of...

hello to all. i got my car running and driving! however my air suspension leaks air. i've teflon taped the hell out of every pipe thread fitting. so it's the push to connect fittings. all fittings are from Ride Tech. hoses too. my question to those bagged lincolns is where did you get your push to c...

update: i had a second set of cheap stamped valve covers that had the holes for the breather and pcv. a trip to the speed shop nearby and picked up a breather and pcv, $27 out the door. went home, put them on the car. did some inspection under the car and tightened the oil pan bolts. oil leak has al...
