    Bob,

    For ‘66, tie rod clamp orientation is described in the AIM on UPC 9, A2.

    By upper A-arm hardware are you referring to the pivot shaft bolts and nuts that secure the A-arm to the frame?

        Bob,

        The end washers, bolts, and bushings were painted black after attached to the A-arm and pivot shaft. And don’t go full gloss with the paint. Based on my observations, most judges expect to see something on the mid to higher end of the semi-gloss range.
