gas sender unit.
the cap pops off and the unit itself is removable by taking out the six or eight screws (can't remember how many) very simple job. the cap just attaches the cable to the gauge.

distributor
tried to post this before and cannot tell if it was successful or not. I mistakenly hooked up the 12v wire to the distributor side of the coil and fried the wires to the condenser, the points. etc. does this do any damage to the distributor itself or will just replacing the condenser and the points ...

ball joint boots
Better to take off the beam, remove the torsion arms and have a qualifed machinist remove and replace the ball joints. Make sure the camber fittings are on correctly. I almost forgot to put them back on!!!! whatever you do, do NOT take the torision springs out of the beam!!!!! very difficult, dirty ...

Blue Baron: I did get a bare replacement beam and rebuilt the front end with help from Matt D. worked pretty well. It is a big, dirty job, though.

to all interested in this item, Matt's suggestion about a bead of weld on the tip of the torsion bar cluster did the trick!!! Many thanks to Matt for the suggestion.

I see the photos: Do you intall the torsion bar ends in the torsion bar end first, screw down the grub screw and then insert the bars in the beam??? I do see how all the indentations line up. I assume, then, that I could use a rubber mallet to tap in the bars hitting the outside end ot the torsion a...

Matt: any trick to getting the torsion bars back in?? do they go in one at a time or am I missing something?? they seem to catch in the center near the indentations.

thanks Matt. might have to contact my mechanic buddy. he has a torch.
