Front End Allignment????

[doctor dirt]

Hello gang..........sters! Once again I'm not sure so I put it to the experts..............Can a Tires Plus or any other tire shop perform a front end allingment on our older cars or am I throwing away money & time? I'm guessing yes but I was correct this morning so its possible I'm wrong on this one!!!!   Doc.

 

 

 

anyone have or could direct me to front end specs? Also rear end if there is adjustments there!!!

Alignment information can be found in a service manual and a Motors manual

Searching now, in the mean time the latest report is in and the fuel pump gasket isn't good. we tightened it up snuggly the other day but its leaking. I called the NAPA's and Carquest no luck, hit the ebay no luck and did a general search (google) no luck they all have the gasket for the bowl but not the pump!!

What does the "L-head Motor Court of Appeals say"????  Rockauto?? maybe? Doc

A new pump would likely have a gasket. Not sure if they come alone. You should be able to make one easily.Big hole for the arm. 2 small holes for the bolts.

Its not listed anywheres, Rockauto, JC Whitney etc. the bowl gasket is obvious and the stores are try to sell that to me!!

I was told that Fel Pro #5099 is the gasket the bowl is 5019 but I can't compare that anywheres! Anywheres isn't a word is it??? looks terrible.

Yes I can make a gasket if needed but the hunt is a beautifull thing when your bored out of your mind!! HA!! thanx 48!!!!   searchin' Doc

You can buy an engine rebuild gasket kit. It will have one. It will also have the hard to find oil pump gasket.

I'm considering entering the "hard to find gasket making business"! HA!

I've been told that it is NOT a part, imagine! ok thanx shel_bizzy_48, I'll check that out or just pull it and make it!!!

So much for the "restored car" can't wait to open the steering box   here goes the fences in the neighborhood!! nite all Doc

^{come on folks..a gasket is so easy to make..pair of scissors, exacto knife, say you need round hole 3/8th inch..set the nut on one side of the gasket, use the bolt on the other and tap with a hammer..perfert round hole...nuts/bolts make nice hole cutters just pick the size you need...old timers are turning in their grave as I type...lol}
