68 Sat OP mopar Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 683 Northern NJ	Jacked the car up looking for a leak and found ps fluid low and a small drip coming from the hose. After disassambly I had a few shims from a fellow moparts member from awhile back. I followed the tech article and put in another.062 shim. My question is while I have the mump out should I do anything else while I wait for the hose? Thanks Any recommendations for where to get the pressure hose? 7091920-pspump1.jpg (68 downloads) 1963 Chrysler 300 Pace Setter Convertible 21K mile survivor 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 1956 Desoto Hemi 1955 Chrysler C300

Not that I can think of except make everything pretty. I was wondering how thick of shims are you going with? I have a Firmfeel box (stage 2) but want more road feel so I'm going to add some shims also. BTW.... car looks good! Last edited by 1970A66; 02/26/12 10:35 PM.

I followed the article as close as possible... 7092010-shims.jpg (36 downloads) 1963 Chrysler 300 Pace Setter Convertible 21K mile survivor 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 1956 Desoto Hemi 1955 Chrysler C300

I followed the article as close as possible... In the original tech article they used the /6 valve assembly which had .077 total shim but in the Feb issue a reader wrote in and said he went up to .110 and it felt great so I wasn't sure how much to try. I don't want to be draining and pulling that valve assembly any more than necessary of course. Let me know how you like .123 Thanks.

Maybe put in a resea kit. New front seal, O-ring around can/resivour, and 0-ring from oriface assy to can/pump/body. IIRC, about $20 through rockauto or local discount parts store.

The steering now feels much more like my Acura. Everything in the front end had already been replaced along with a FirmFeel stage 2 steering box and this little modification still made a big improvement.
