Firm Feel

howard cox <gto64gto@xxxxxxxx>: Mar 20 10:06PM -0400

I had my PS box on my 65 Satellite rebuilt by Firm Feel to stage 2 and used their tubular upper control arms. I have been really pleased. I think it might be your tires.

I had a Firm Feel Stage II box on my '64 Sport Fury and liked it but I wanted something stiffer so I went to Stage III on my '63 Sport Fury. World of difference. I've gone back and forth between bias ...more

Thanks for the info. I wish this thing WOULD drive at least as good as a
new 63. I've never had ANY car drive this bad. I have had more 60's mopars
than I can count and never had this kind of ...more

Hi Doug
 
I am also a Firm Feel customer. I have used all of their poly bushings,
tubular upper control arms, strut rod bushings, new torsion bars, and a
stage two P/S box. I also asked them for ...more

Apologies for taking the thread in another direction...
 
Lyle, I am interested in what Firm Feel came back with regarding alignment
specs and how that compares to stock, if you would be inclined ...more

The Ehrenberg article I referred to is in the Feb. 2016 issue of Mopar
Action. It is Titled: "Front End Voodoo.
 
I will try to find the Ross's alignment numbers and post them.

The Ehrenberg article has alignment settings for various use, from little old lady to drag race only.
 
Daily driver is -0.5° camber, +2.5° caster and 1/16 to 1/8" toe-in
 
Hi-po street is -1.5° ...more

Doug,
 
The issue if following every dip and groove and your "herding" the car is
the nature of bias play tires. When I got my first car...a 73 Dart sport,
it had bias ply tires on it. ...more

I apologize to those who asked, but I can't find my notes about alignment
settings from Matt Ross. I suspect Doug may be in touch with them and maybe
he will share with all of us.

Doug J <63sprtfury@xxxxxxxxx>: Mar 21 08:01PM -0500

The readers digest version of alignment I have is dialing in up to 2

"straight ahead steering". (most likely my problem), ...more

"jhanlon1903 ." <jhanlon1903@xxxxxxxxx>: Mar 20 09:59PM -0400

we put lots of time and money into our cars, any play in the water pump,
gone, air flow and water flow; hard to get right sometimes.

Personally I wouldn't change any more parts until I found the source of the
overheating problem, as suggested by Gary and others. I would instead go
back to what changed and investigate from ...more
