Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
I was worried about excessive muscle to turn the new 215/75/15 radials and am very surprised. i don't think they changed the effort at all. You must run a drag link ( pitman to left steer arm) length measurement longer than 12 1/4 inches when you set up Sid's system. I had originally shortened it up, installed eveything, aligned it and was kind of dissapointed in the effort it took to steer it. I had bought different shims, re-evaluated the install and called Sid. He walked me through the entire install over the phone when he was on the road to a show and had time to talk. After about an hour, he says " did you shorted your drag link"? After playing with the link a couple times and hitting the swwet spot, it steers like a million bucks. I am a big fan of Sid and his COMPLETE system
