What bracket is this on my front suspension?
So, as I was inspecting my "Corvy" I found these two brackets(that are both broken) on my front end suspension. I was looking at my manuals and could not find them. The brackets seem better suited to hold up something on a static base, like my house wall and I am not sure of their purpose....

I just changed...what should my timing be?

Re: converting 62 to front disc brakes question
I was able to get the races out using a punch and a small sledge hammer.
I did get a couple of nicks on the sleeve where the races sit. Is there any

New rasces go in would you just use a socket to tap them down? Thanks

alternator upgrade help
my little pancake compressor of 1 scfm at 40 psi has not been
enough. Does the pulley bolt turn counterclockwise and do I hold
the fan blades? Thanks

Re: best rust cleanser for my lugs? Brake hub Grease?
Thanks, I am also in the process of changing 62 Monza brakes to Disc. I am cleaning out the 76 Colt hubs and am looking for a grease recommendation. I am thinking Mobil 1 synthetic grease.
