Re: 46 SD tube shocks interference
Flipped the sway bar end links.....I assume its in the correct position now.
Gives me room for a shock to clear everything. Will require about an 18 inch shock, which I think is correct.....

Re: 46 SD tube shocks interference
Ok.......see if Y'all agree
I think the lower mounts are aftermarket perch bolts that were cut off.
Hopefully the pictures show the "serrations" I think were done by a cut off wheel.

Re: 46 SD tube shocks interference

Re: 46 SD tube shocks interference
Im going to try flipping the lower mount around and see if anything improves.
Feel like I shouldn't have to use shims if its a kit. You can see the witness marks and dent on the lower shock tube.

Re: 46 SD tube shocks interference
Seems like the lower mount is oriented wrong.
Should the shock be more vertical?
I have no idea what kit this is......maybe some instructions out there somewhere showing correct install.

Re: 46 Super Deluxe track bar bent?
If you look at the last set of pictures, I would mount yours the same way.
The "kink" on the passenger side. The bend in the kink down.
You can see how the bar is mounted on the bolt on mount...

Re: 46 Super Deluxe track bar bent?
I think the bend on the drivers side is suppose to be there.....Found a shop manual drawing, shows the bend near the end, but straight otherwise

Re: Fuel pump turbulence 8BA
I ordered a kit and some extra sediment bowl gaskets. Hopefully this will cure it.
I do have a metal cased fuel filter before the pump, secured with worm style hose clamps.

Re: Fuel pump turbulence 8BA
Ok, thanks
Been trying to find an Apco kit, to no avail.
I have the part number 11A-9349, it pops up, but not stating Apco.
I want to use a quality kit obviously.
