I went and checked with my 3/4 in drive socket set,
the 1 1/4 was to small, the one that fit was 1 5/16
hope that helps.

I am trying to get the pitman arm off and this HUGE
nut is being uncooperative. What size is it, anyone

Don't remember seeing that size at the store.

I'd go with nice gas shocks. The air shocks tent to ride harsh. Good for loaded beds; not so good when empty.

well, if you are not missing parts you are in good shape, I'd start with my

hot wire to steering column then on to the switch (horn button) .

Chicago Corvette Supply is a great source for Holley parts, though I can't

a base plate assembly for a 3310 - $179.00.

My dad's told me this too. He's always said that it was done to lower
