I am looking at a 1966 coupe for sale. Some concerns I have regarding the car.
1. Steering is very loose - owner mentioned the steering box does not need to be replaced but there is a bolt located on it that I would be able to tighten down which should take away some of the looseness of the steering wheel. Is this true or am I looking at getting a new steering box? The car does not have power steering.
2. The A/C clutch is bad - states this is not a major concern and once that is replaced the A/C should work. He states the fan works and the system is able to hold a charge. Does this make sense?
3. Not really a problem but the car only has lap belts of course. I want to install a shoulder system for the front and rear so my wife and two younger kids can ride in it and be somewhat safer. What systems are available, work well on a safety level, and how hard are they to install?
That is a start and my thanks for any advice someone can offer.
