I looked under my 67 coupe at the steering linkages to see what was causing the play in the steering wheel. I noticed the pitman arm seemed to move in its socket before turning the wheel which caused the loose feel. The fit is loose on the skinny end of the pitman arm which connects into the...

I swapped out my drum brakes on my 66 coupe with disks from a 69. They work well but the calipers hit the steering stop on the strut bars limiting my turning. Can I take these stops off or do I risk oversteering and binding my assembly. I have manual steering. Id like to keep the later brakes...
