Use flaring tool for "double flare" but only enough to form shape.

As shown in Ford service publications,RUG-E is a 2.78 1st gear (wide ratio ) are you getting your info from a Marti report? I call that "processed information" Not 100% factual.
Like the lit that shows 427 in Mustang. Never happened.
Would require many parts to become close ratio. So much incorrect info out there that keeps getting repeated.
Re-Peted ? 

Trans tag ? Build sheet ? Then,use FORD shop manual ,or service spec book,to identify what Ford supplied. Ford decided if wide or close ratio,not customer.

Please be aware that the CORRECT vacuum advance for the J code 4 speed is not the same as CJ . The J code is marked A12 while CJ ( 68-69 428  speed )is marked HP6. They LOOK similar,but are not the same. 1968 version of the A12 uses the brass threaded fitting on the advance side.

I have 6F and 7D.......very tough to find real,original windshields.

Price reduced to $50. + shipping.

This is a genuine Ford made part,not Chinese. Fits many Ford mid-size,Mustang,Fairlane,etc. Don't risk using a gypo when NOS is available. $70 + shipping

Another item I had saved in my toolbox over the years.....nice piece no worry about sand in this one.
$35+ shipping
1/2 the price of a repo!

Way too young to pass.... I have traded services with Bill for years. My most sincere condolences to his wife and children. God speed buddy

Only my 2 cents,but most every collector car rebuild will not see many miles of use. The stock "umbrella" style seals satisfied millions of applications for billions of miles ( check my math ) I realize some just like to spend money at the machine shop to get a bill that proves something,but in reality ,the engineers back then had 50 K warranty to contend with and properly designed those to meet most street applications. You can try to re-engineer this area ,but for what reason? Those PC style seals are not fool-proof.I just replaced a set on my EZGO golf cart......

Your problem is not within the steering column. What you feel is the RESULT of some other issue. Find a good tire shop that really wants to help. Most just want to do a fast balance and not spend the time to get to root cause. Balance is not the only cause of vibration. Wheel and/or tire runout need to be considered. Some bigger shops can check "road force" balance and are most likely to have the people and equipment.

Original FoMoCo parts. Great for top notch build at budget price. Great deal for $50 + shipping.
Main bearings and cam bearings

Nice,used part,not gypo. Clean/paint/install. $35+ a few bucks for shipping.

Many things will affect voltage. A voltage of near 15 volts indicates a fully charged battery. Voltage regulators operate on the inverse,where low voltage would cause higher amperage output and as battery charged ,and voltage would rise amperage would reduce. That is brief explanation of how a Ford voltage regulator operates.

I think this
