I’d also like to know what you think about your brakes as that is next on my list

Willwoods are manual 4 wheel disc with Willwood master cylinder. Stops really well right now (no engine  ) waiting on a few more custom parts.

Thanks for the photos! It looks like quality parts.

Wait a minute, those look NOTHING like what their "picture" shows. Where is the adjustability for the upper control arm?

Direct quote from their website: "The upper control arm is fully adjustable and can provide up to 5 degrees of positive caster on most cars."

So what's the deal here? Is there a cheaper option that I don't see, or are they just full of BS?

Good point! On other supplier's sites, the tubular part of the uppers are threaded to allow in/out adjustments. The depicted uppers are welded and offer no said adjustment. What is up here?

I’m back to Total control products I think.

I took the Fairlane in to alignment shop and had the steering components checked and the car corner weights measured. Steering components were tight and not worn out.
Car weighs 3477# ( big block, 4speed, no power anything, battery is in trunk passenger side).
LF 1002#. LR 738#
RF 948#.  RR 789#
Is this about right for the ‘66 ?
Thanks

I was reading the control freak suspensions installation instructions, they suggest in that document the upper control arms are adjustable, and use 5/8 rod ends.  If that’s the case, I think I’m open minded to their product again.  I guess I’ll try calling them, or chatting their tech dept.
