NOW we can break some parts on anything but a MoPar with an adjustable pinion snubber. Did they have those in '67?
Let's see.....do I spend a lot of $$$$ (and time) building my own leaf spring only setup or bolt on a set of traction bars like they ran in 1967.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Herb McCandless won Indy in 1970 with a Hemi 4 Speed with Super Stock springs going 9.90, car went as fast as 9.70 with a 404 Hemi and a 4 speed. Why put a smart *** post up when you had no plans of running it anyway.

Ronnie went 9.48 with Super Stock springs no ladder bars or traction bars in 1971.
