Re: [AMC-List] my 62 classic project

IIRC the AMC 20 from even a big car will fit (67-78 Matador, etc.). It's
actually about 2" wider, but deeper offset tires will work fine. New
model Mustang wheels have a deep offset. Just get longer grade 8 bolts
for the spindles and space them out about another inch. I used large
grade 8 nuts that slipped over the bolts for spacers on the front of
mine, and that was just right (I think they are 1/2" nuts). A Javelin
axle will be about the right width for stock wheels. 

I'm writing an article about putting the rack and pinion in for the next
AIM. I really don't recommend it. It's a lot of work and there really
isn't any gain. It's much easier to put a modern style power steering
box in, and you can get a GM quick ratio box for about the same price as
a rack and pinion, without all the work.
