I installed a Delphi 600 gear box last year on my 62 wagon and have had a horrible time with it. My car was a factory PS that leaked fluid every where and was worn pretty good. Complete front suspension was rebuilt and at 40-45 mph the car wanted to jerk towards the ditch. Called the company and...

Wondering how your gear box turned out. Found the specs on mine from the alignment shop. Left caster .52, right .63. Left camber .01, right .10.

I forgot to mention that right before the car show, I pulled the belt off the power steering pump and I could get up to 55 mph until it started to wonder.

I called Southwest Speed and their tubular a arms didn't offer any additional caster. Thats what the guy on the phone said. I'll have to pass on the Global West parts. I had to pull the wheel when I was trying to see why my turn signals were messed up. Told the alignment shop not to worry about...

No big rush right now. The car was always a little weird feeling when trying to drive it. With the factory power steering I would take turns and the front end felt loose and the back felt tight. Kind of like over loading a a long bed half ton truck with a trailer. Where the front wheels look...

The bushing are all new. I replaced everything, ball joints, top and bottom a arm bushings and 4 tie rod ends. I'm not sure if I want to go with the offset bars from speedway since some people are having a hard time eve getting 2 degrees on caster. The tubular upper a arms sounds the best way...

The new Delphi 600 gear box and plate is rotated a little. I'm guess due to this, you need more caster. I'm not sure but its my guess. Looks like the best bet is to order the speedway bars and see what that does. I've seen tubular a arms and are quite a bit of money for my old wagon since I'm...

How is your steering? On the back roads at 45mph the car wants to take off to the right or left. When in the city on a straight stretch where the road is level and no breaks in the pavement it stays straight as an arrow. Caster is at positive half a degree on both sides right now. Haven't...

Installed a Borgeson 600 gear box, universal joint and shaft on my 62 chevy. Took it to the alignment shop and they got it to factory specs but can not get it to the 2.5 to 3.5 degrees caster. Did a search on the forum didn't find anyone saying that offset bars for the top a frame worked. Found...

I did a search before posting and my head started to hurt after looking at the computer for a while.

Original 283 that I rebuilt. Original paint but does have some dents but I don't care for right now. Anyone know where I can get some offset bars for the top A frame that will add up to 3 degrees of caster?

Bought this about a year and a half ago. Rebuilt the front suspension, engine and brakes. Had the powerglide gone through but it leaks horribly. I installed a Borgeson Delphi 600 gear box and now I need atleast another 2 degrees caster. Here is a picture the previous owner had. Still looks the...
