Looking at a '67 138....a few questions

[L78fanatic]

This '67 SS has the following modifications:

Hotchkiss front suspension, front disc brakes with Ridetech front tube (stock front suspension was removed, including coil springs).
Recently installed Redhead steering gear box and steering components (stock PS Pump was removed)
New Master Cylinder (Not sure if it's stock)

This is a car I know a bit about as it was for sale in Ohio well over a year ago, and I know it was basically stock, with a replacement '68 396/350hp engine, M22 Muncie (not original I believe as I didn't think any M22's were ordered new in '67's, from my research).

I am thinking this car might ride "very stiff" as it's been for sale for quite some time. I believe it also has had some body work, but I haven't asked the seller about it yet. I prefer not to provide any pics yet, just questions about the above modifications by the current owner that I know were not on the car when originally for sale in Ohio last year.

Any thoughts on these mods? I haven't a clue.

Thanks!

Can't comment on the rest, but Redhead steering boxes are excellent.

They take the stock steering box, bore it and put new bigger needle bearings in. Night and day difference.

I've had 3 steering boxes done by them. When they are done, there is zero play in the wheel (provided the other parts are in good shape).
