Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

doing headers, unbolted the steering shaft...how the hell do you feed it bavk onto the solid shaft at such an extreme angle/bend???
tips would be nice lol
Slide it onto the steering rack first, it will slide down far enough to let the top of it slide onto the steering column shaft. Then you can tighten both bolts.
Or vice versa, try whatever way you're not doing right now. Lol. But I'm pretty sure what I said above is correct.

yeah I was trying to remember how we did it on yours fred, thanks for the input.
just in case anyone was wondering, its steering shaft first then rack...I was trying to fish it on when the bolt was still on the rack. both bolts need to be removed.

Its steering wheel shaft first because it can slide further than the "home" position on that end.
Its an easy job if youre one of the lucky ones that has proper fit of those parts to begin with. I wasnt lucky. The steering wheel shaft was a slightly larger diameter than the linkage... IE didnt want to go back on. I was smacking it with a bfh for a while but an easier method would be to file the inside edge of the linkage mouth... Wont affect anything because the bolt will snug it together once installed anyway.
almost ready to rock. just need to get the rest of the exhaust back together and tighten up the clamps which has turned out to be a real PITA.
then it should be good to go once my mail order tune comes back

Broke down the front end suspension for blasting and paint. I couldnt believe it when the lower control arm bolts just slid out. Just gotta love southern cars!
Since both k members were out and bare. I put them side by for comparison. The only difference I see is engine mount bolt holes. The shape of the member is the same.
got my exhaust back together after much frustration lol. planning on getting longer bolts and using the stock y-pipe support just to have some piece of mind. I dont like how low the catback hangs.
