Restoration / Help with ride height issue

« on: February 26, 2016, 12:59:42 PM »

I am in the process of having my car put back on the road. I have a very reputable company doing the restoration. We have gotten to the point that everything is back together and the ride height is way too low. This is a heavy car, 69 rs/ss convertible big block with a lot of options. I purchased coil springs from Ricks based on the charts and weights. So my question is where do we go now? Would it be possible they sent the wrong springs? Could something else be happening? I am looking for any suggestions as to a good fix for this problem.

Thanks
Scott

I wonder if the "HELP" section in auto parts stores would have it?

Yes, they do.

Can you guys suggest a parts store? I have tried all my local stores.

Restoration / Ilder Arm question

I am rebuilding the front end of my car. I have the original ilder arm and the grease seal has deteriorated. Does anyone sell these. All I can find in the catalogs is the entire idler arm assembly. Same thing with the power steering arms.

Thanks

No, I wish it was that easy. They are all in 1 bag, everything from the firewall forward was disassembled. I have the engine and tranny back in the car and control arms are on. I want to start putting stuff back together and figured it would be easier to purchase correct bolts than hunt in the bag for what is correct. They would all need to be painted the correct finish anyway.

Should I post the ones that come in 2 different finishes?

Bob,

1969 ss/rs convertible, 396/325, loaded with options, numbers matching.

I got that far with the cross reference. The issue is I am having is that some of the part numbers from the AIM come in 2 different finishes from AMK. Without having the orginal bolts I do not know which finish to get. Not worried much about markings but want to gt color right.

Restoring a driver. Long story. Took to a guy a year ago for some work. He did the disassembly. I had to take the car back so I got all the bolts back in 1 bag. I am going to start from scratch with the fasteners.

Thanks

Restoration / AMK Products finish question

How do I know which finish to order with AMK? Most of the stuff I have on my list is either S2 (phosphate & oil) or S8 (Zinc).

Thanks
