Miller's book "Hook and Launch" might help you some. It is available at most of the big book stores and on the internet. He also sells a really good system for this type of car. Good luck and happy motoring.

I've run Weibe's setup before, which I would only run to be stock legal.
Personally I've been quicker with the factory style 4 link. Mine consisted of fabricated chromoly bars with heims, the upper bar is fully adjustable at the housing, my frame mounts are reinforced. I use a weld in, between the frame rails anti roll, tires are 29.90 X 9 Hoosier radials on 10 inch wheels. I get almost no separation on launch, depending on which engine I run I've been well into the 1.2 60s @ 3720 pounds in my 68 Chevelle.
