Why not just take the heavy 73 urathane bumper off, take a lighter standard 73 chrome bumper and strip it and paint it body color? I assume that would bolt right up and work with the 73 fenders, would it not?
I need to replace the rear axle bearings on my 9" and I see that there are a couple of sizes/styles of bearings and seals out there. What am I looking for on my 73 so I can make sure I've got the right parts ordered ahead of time? Thanks!!
I just had to come back and say that as silly as this sounds, putting the Vibra Tite vc-3 on the idle screw is one of the best things I've done to that carb. After quite a bit of driving, my idle stays right were it needs to be, and the throttle response is always exactly where I expect it to be...
Second one. The build isn't my cup of tea, but it went for a very respectable $55k.

The Vibra Tite vc-3 stuff worked great. After it was "dry" I reset the screw to the proper spot, got the idle exactly where I wanted it. Then gave the throttle about 15 or 20 quick hits with my thumb letting it slap back on the screw each time and the idle never even moved 10rpm off my setting...
