Lot's of factory setups use a cantilever setup. Remote fill caps are simple enough solution to the under the floor fill cap situation. There is a thread here on this very site on how to roll your own front discs. Using commonly available brake parts.

Unless it's been rebuilt a few times I seriously doubt it has 200k miles on it.
-
Same amount of horse power too, sufficient. lol

Point is, if it is magnetic it is NOT oilite. What it is made of, who knows. It may be sintered metal, but more than likely it's an overseas interpretation of what a pilot bushing is. Changing a clutch is enough of a PITB as it is and for the minimal cost to get the specified bushing it makes sense to do it now, rather than find out whatever that bushing was it wasn't right and now you get to do it again. No thanks, I am lazy, I prefer to do the job right, do it once and never have to mess with it again,

Op says it's magnetic, which rules out it being the appropriate oilite bushing,
-
Oilite is a sintered bronze material that is self lubricating. Chrysler has used to for 70+ years, I'd pass on the steel one. You can punch in the mopar part number, 53298, into NAPA's website and they sell the bushing for under $5. Autozone wants $25, pass, lol. Dorman Bearing 690-005 works too

Very nice, sorta jealous.

Figuring that out was a trick on my 51. You just grab the front edge of the seat bottom and pull up. Unlike my later mopars there is no hook there so you do not need to (actually can't) push it in to "unhook" as there are no hooks there. Oh yeah, take out the armrests first, probably the window handles too..

I am running P245/50R17's in the back. For a spare I use the stock sized tire, because the heights are the same and it'll also clear everything up front. Haven't totally sorted what I want to run in the front.

This is the one I bought, it's 1/2" drive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L2320G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Burnishing is the proper method, even according to Oilite.
-
One of the reasons you should add a PCV system, it'll help contain the acid issue.
-
Brake fluid?
-
Have someone step on the clutch (you need the clutch pedal working) while trying to install. This will release the clutch and allow the disc to move and align to the shaft and should seat the trans.
-
No feedback on the specific question, but back when I fooled around with Isoclamp cars the trick was to delete what you could (leaf spring rubber mounting) and replaces the body mounts with aluminum bushings, there were also poly bushings. Really tightened up the handling. I don;t knpw that anyone makes anything out of rubber any more that isn't garbage. Casting poly isn't too hard. Figuring out what you need as the final dimensions though...
-
Wrong bushing then. Chrysler has used the same pilot bushing from day one all the way up till the 90's when they went with a roller bearing setup.. Yes, you can use the tool on an already installed bushing, but looking at that picture however you installed it to begin with looks like it really messed the bushing up. The Mopar part number for that bushing is 53298 and it is an oilite bushing. SKF B286, DORMAN 690005 and TIMKEN PB286 are some other numbers.
-
EBC brakes seem to have good quality, if they make a set for your ride.
-
Burnishing tool. which sizes the bushing to fit properly https://www.ebay.com/itm/224882347274

Old timer is wrong, or you have the wrong bushing Lots of ignorance parading around as old timer wisdom. A solid brass bushing looks nothing like an oilite bush. Brass is a bright yellow looking metal, oilite is a darker, sintered bronze, oil impregnated metal. This is what oilite looks like This is what brass looks like
-
Lol

Moparpro is a great place to way overspend on parts. There is nothing special about him.
-
What is your altitude? The acceptable vacuum value drops as you go higher in altitude.
-
Well, in that case I will put together a kit and charge even more for it, I'll include bulbs, lol.
-
I put this radiator in my 51 Plymouth, it fit. It works. No on will confuse it for original, even if you paint it black like I did, Use your original cap, or one of similar pressure rating

Autoclave gauntlets would prevent burns
