    1968 Power steering not working after rebuilding pump

    Calipers are on correct sides. The brakes worked fine a few years ago before I pulled the engine, did body work, paint, etc. I started a new thread on my brake woes: https://californiaspecial.com/forums/threads/brakes-pull-hard-to-the-right-front-power-discs-rear-drums.14908/

    1968 Brakes pull hard to the right - front power discs, rear drums

    I'm finally getting my HCS on the road again after rebuilding the engine and transmission. And now the brakes pull hard to the right. If I brake slowly it definitely pulls right, but I can easily control it with the steering wheel. But if I slam on the brakes I have to really hang on tight to...

    1968 Power steering not working after rebuilding pump

    I had time this morning to hook up the pressure guage and the pump was creating ZERO pressure. Aarrggghhh! So I bought a pump cartridge from my local parts store, installed it and now the power steering works fine. I was only able to test it in the garage because I'm also dealing with a brake...

    Marty, I've contacted the seller about also adding it to the online registry. Should I send this to Mike and Arlie too, or is it good now that you have it?

    For Sale 1968 HCS project for sale on Facebook - 302, C4 auto - $15,000 - Kingman, AZ

    This car is in Paul's 2011 book, but with no info other than VIN and owner name (not sure if that owner is the same as the current seller). But @classicsguy just ordered a Marti report confirming it's a true HCS. See the last attachment to this post. I'm in AZ and normally would be happy to...

    1968 Power steering not working after rebuilding pump

    Thanks for the reply Steve. I did rebuild the pump myself, as opposed to buying a rebuilt cartridge. Honestly it was just gaskets, seals and O-rings, although I did have to replace the pressure plate because it was cracked in half...

    1968 Power steering not working after rebuilding pump

    I rebuilt my PS pump when I rebuilt my 289 a few months back. the new engine has been in the car and running fine with test drives around the block, but I finally got a chance to install the PS pump yesterday. The problem is the car still feels like it's 100% manual steering. I turned the...

    1968 Front vent window rebuild photos

    The vent window seals were easy enough to install in the frame. Then the division bar gets installed, and the small metal tabs in the seal need to be bent over to hold it in place. I used a sharpie to mark the glass runner channel before I disassembled, which was helpful to be sure I got it...

    1968 Front vent window rebuild photos

    This weekend I rebuilt my front vent windows, replacing the seals, chrome levers and window run weatherstrip. So I thought I've post some photos of the process in case it helps someone in the future. To replace the seal you need to remove the factory rivets holding the division bar to the vent...

    Wanted Hood Twist Pin Washers

    Sorry, I can't help since I don't have any extra. But just to clarify so others know what you're looking for, do you mean the large flat washer that sits on the surface of the hood, or the small serrated retaining washer on the shaft?
