Does the screw go in or out to tighten/loosen the adjustment and the play? It seem too hard to turn the steering wheel? Dennis - did you get yours fixed? Larry Remember, wheels in the air and engine running when doing power steering unless you are Arnold and small increments and NOT up tight!. I remember trying to turn the steering whilst driving only to find everything had locked!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] radiator
I have a radiator problem that I hope someone has an answer for. I am restoring a 65 L79 with a manual transmission and no a/c. I got this car in pieces so I do not have the original radiator or fan shroud. I ordered a radiator #604644-1 and a fan shroud #605623 from Ecklers. The radiator I received is perfect except there is no flange on the engine side of it to bolt the fan shroud to. I can't find any pictures of a non A/C L79 so I don't know exactly how it correctly mounts. I called Ecklers and they confirmed that I have the correct radiator for this car and I can easily fabricate some brackets but I want to put this car together as correct as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks Chum Nault
Re: [Chevelle-list] radiator
I don't think any L79 came with A/C so that's not a problem. Check this site to see if you can pick up details. http://www.macswebs.com/richl79/65L79/index.html Rich may even be around and could help.

Re: [Chevelle-list] radiator
Thanks for the link, I can see by one of the photos that the radiator has a flange on both sides. I will call ecklers back on Monday and see if they can get me one with the correct flanges.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Steering Box Adjustment
Hi Larry, My wandering '65 is better but still not perfect. The camber has been reduced to zero and the caster has been increased with some improvement. It almost acts like a ball-joint is dragging, but they are not.

Re: [Chevelle-list] radiator
I have my original radiator and shroud out of the car. I installed a cross flow.

Re: [Chevelle-list] radiator
Suggestions? Yeah try someone besides Ecklers. If you are selling parts for restoring of cars, you would think they as a seller of restoration parts could come up with a better idea than fabricate some brackets.6021 1965 L-79 were produced so you should be able to find the right parts-Try Dick @ True Connections in California. He owns one and knows everything there is to know about them.
