Re: Shorting pitman arm
When I shortened mine, I first calculated it in AutoCAD and found that 1-1/4" let the stops on the arms at the wheels touch just before the box ran out of movement. This didn't widen the turning...

Re: Car wanders
It's between 0° and 1° on both sides.I get the same readings on the center of the axle and just behind the king pins. Possibly the radius arms are bent?

Re: Car wanders
I have a F1 box and before that I had a 2 tooth box. Both of them wandered. There was less than 3/4 inch play in either box.

Re: upgrade to 1932 brakes?
I have mine converted to '35's. Not only is it 12" but the shoes are wider than the '32 to '34. Don't know what you can do if you need new drums.

Re: Drag link hits the tie rod
tinkirk
I had a shorter pitman arm on it from my 2 tooth box but it didn't go far enough on a left turn with the wheels straight ahead at the center of boxes travel. I now have an F100 box in it.

Drag link hits the tie rod
I changed the front string with one that is 1" lower than the stock spring. Now the tie rod and drag link rub each other. Has any one else have this problem and how did you solve it?

Re: ARP head studs
I use the ARP studs in my engine. The thing I like is the allen head socket in the top end. It's a lot easier to pull the head of you remove the nuts and then unscrew the studs. With this setup, I...

Re: Most Difficult Restoration Tasks
I agree with many others. Replacing the Sport Coupe top was the hardest job. On top of that the instructions for tacking on the front were actually for a Cabriolet not a Sport Coupe.

Re: Modern one piece valve guide removal
As the engine is still in the car, I don't want to pull the cam & lifters out. So, I think Brent's advice will be the best way to go. Thanks to all for your inputs.
