Hi Bill / Stu (and others),
Well, I've finally got the engine and gearbox out of the Stang (7 hours no less!) and am ready to order the parts that need replacing! I wanted to buy a steering box rebuild kit, and therefore need to know the dia. of the output shaft..... I assume this means the shaft that the steering wheel bolts to?..... If not, where am I supposed to be measuring? I have got a reading (with a digital mic.) of 0.7480" (not quite 3/4"). The size asked for should be either 1" or 1 1/8"!!! HELP!
Secondly, I've measured the front sway bar which is reading 0.8525" (between 27/32" and 55/64 where 7/8" would be 0.8750")! Do I order the bushings for 7/8" here?
Thirdly, back to the steering box, I've taken the number on the id tag attached to the 'correct' bolt (according to the Mustang Restoration Guide) and it reads as follows :
SMB A 6J22B
Any idea what this means? Is this the correct box for 7T03A123001? Car has power steering, power disc brakes and deluxe int....if that helps??
Lastly, I don't seem to be able to find the tag on the carb.... So I've looked around the flange where it mounts to the intake manifold, and I've found "66J" stamped into it. Any idea which carb is mounted here - I can't find the references in the book....
Thanks in advance...
Kevin
PS : HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOR TOMORROW!
