Re: Caster Mod for pre 73

Moving the hole & shifting things forward still requires shims during alignment to dial it in. I'd prob still target the max the hole can be moved w/the minimal amount of clearance related issues.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'm still a bit hesitant to go the full 3/4" because I'm running a manual steering box. While I want improved highway tracking, I also don't want to make parking lots too much worse. I'm trying to find a sweet spot.

It seems that most fellas that go the full 3/4" have power steering.

Re: Caster Mod for pre 73

That's a good consideration that I did not think about when doing mine. I went the full 3/4" and mine is manual steering as well. It was already a bit of a bear at low speed with a 15" steering wheel. I hope it's not too bad now! I have yet to drive it as I am still in the process of a motor swap.
