Hi,


I just completely refit my front end with new control arms, struts, bushings, inner and outer tie rods, and wheel bearings.

This vehicle is a 1977 264 GL. I installed a lighter B23F instead of the heavy B27 six cylinder.

After adjusting the strut all the way inboard, the camber is still positive. The front end rides pretty high from the wheels which I actually like, because the suspension travel is enhanced.

The camber is out of spec, however. I see that the 240 Turbo models had different springs then the other models. Also, the six cylinder had alternate parts.

What are the part numbers and the differences between the options? I’d like a stiff spring, but I cannot align the hub correctly without camber plates at this ride height.
