CC/Rambler There is a retro thing happening right now that allows the prodigious use of spangle and color as street machine accoutrements. Not wanting to be left behind and needing to fill some pages, we've decided to add a bit of '60s flavor to our '67 Rambler American project car in the form of a speedboat blue, glitter-encrusted steering wheel. Goofy? Maybe, but after we installed the wheel and stepped back, we got to liking it. It makes us want to drive. To catch you up, the CC/Rambler is mostly AMC with a JMS Racing-built Jeep 360, a Richmond five-speed transmission, and an M20 rear with a Moser axle and Auburn ECTED locker treatment. We painted it ourselves and added A100 van seats, Wheel Vintiques 02 Series Gasser Alloys from Summit Racing, and a set of Stockton Henry steelies. It runs 11.60 on the motor.

The replacement is a 15-inch, round-hole three-spoke in metalflake blue with a 4-inch dish.

Because the shaft does not move, the two outer bolts pull the wheel off the splines of the steering shaft.

Caster is read off the center scale using an adjustment knob on the bottom of the gauge. There is also a small level at the end of the gauge to indicate if the gauge is parallel to the ground.Most bubble alignment gauges are designed like this one from Intercomp.
