Hi everyone. I have a 66 w/ a 429. I am about to add power steering change all the bushings, new shocks and I want to know is there anything else I can do to get this thing to feel safe at 70 mph. Right now it seems to wander so bad it will make you overcompensate and feel like your gonna lose control.

All that and have a look at your rear springs and shackles. A fresh set of springs all the way around and new shackles will make a world of difference. Not overly expensive either
