Slight setback on the steering, the u-joint I got from Delta was flawed. The splines didn’t line up properly with the notch in the shaft ...   10-01-2011 09:00 am

I ordered a new u-joint from Delta. I was able to move the old joint with a lot of effort (and a hammer) but it ...   09-26-2011 03:41 pm

Another simple thing you might check (just because it's easy) before pulling the starter is the wires going to the ignition switch. Easy enough to ...   09-23-2011 04:34 am

Thanks Jody, seems like most of my questions are of the “Hey, does this look right?” variety. I was half expecting someone to chime in ...   09-20-2011 06:42 pm

Hey Jody, Thanks for the quick response! I actually did check the upper and lower joints (had my 6-yr-old turn the wheel) and they were not ...   09-19-2011 03:44 am

Soooo…the steering has been binding lately. Not sure when it started. It binds at certain points in the turning radius, not consistently. I had the ...   09-18-2011 11:45 pm

Yes, that sounds right, he had replaced the taillights with small round ones from ??? which added to the 60's look. I seem to recall ...   09-10-2011 04:25 pm
