Re: Suspension help
Chevelle Wagon, the more you described your activities,the more info you gave to help yourself. I have a '68 Chevelle wagon,327/250-245 O/SA car, it's the red one in the Tony Janes Race Cars photo section. That thing drives itself. It's the easiest car to drive I've ever seen. Make sure the wheelbase is the same both sides, 0 to +1/2 on the camber with the car on the ground, 1/8 total toe with the car on the ground,0" with the front end 4" up, and 2 1/2 to 3 degrees caster will make this car go very straight. Roll bar shouldn't have changed anything, but the car should have been on its wheels when the bar was welded in.Floor pans being replaced shouldn't have changed anything. Our wagon has had new pans. The floor is isolated from the frame with the factory body bushings. Make sure these are all good and tight.These cars are pretty easy to make work. What do you suppose that the 455 Vista Cruiser guys went through with those things corkscrewing into the night? Good luck,keep us posted.

I've heard conflicting reports, did they tell you specifically what was actually illegal about it? By the way, I looked several times over the last couple of days, and cannot find the post about Alf's new NHRA approved stuff. It had a picture of an NHRA approval letter. It was hereon the boards for a while, but now it is either gone or I just can't find it.

Re: Suspension help
I just stumble upon this thread and i have a question about front suspension. we have a 68 chevelle 396 325 car and when we are stalling on the starting line the front wants to raise how can that be cured?? The more the stall the higher the front fender goes on the hit it does great we would just like to have the front settled as we are staging
