I can pick up my old trans with the pushlok hoses attached via pushlok fittings to it. :lol:

Define cleaner? Easier is debatable too :lol: Both have their ways of pissing you off.

Looks great Jim, a long way from your last Nova

Hey, I just noticed something. You've got extra bolts in your shackles, and they're not necessary and they're too short. They're making the shackles go like this: \ / when they should be like this | |.

I was planning on putting a metal sleeve to make them parallel. Would that make them any more sturdy? I use them for my come-along to crank the car back into the garage :). I got tired of pushing haha

Yeah, the sleeves would definitely help, if you need the attachment points. The way they are right now you're binding up the rear of the spring and distorting the bushings. Might make for some odd suspension movement.

Thanks for the tip man


Yes I do Corey!

I looked right past that. Those lower bolts should come out. They serve no purpose.
