Re: Minnesota Daily Driver

A reman ACDelco distributor has been installed. So far so good with that.

Next was the steering. The parts house brand reman steering gear was becoming sloppy. I decided to just replace it with an ACDelco and be done with it. Also installed an ACDelco steering pump.

To go with the steering gear, I installed a drop pitman arm. When the lift was installed, I put the raised steering arm on the axle but there was still a 2" drop from the pitman arm to the axle. This resulted in the wheels turning right as the suspension compressed. Which is most noticeable when braking or when pulling a trailer. Now the drag link is nearly level.
