H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

Not sure if it was shenanigans but when ken found my car was a stick he sold me on a bigger diameter bar. It’s crazy how violent the bars move shifting a stick. ( could see it in your first vid )

When I recently ordered my rear shocks Marty had me measure from the mounting spot to the cal tracs with the rear end hanging. He mentioned some stick guys having issues with to short of rear shock travel.

I also got the bigger bar from Ken because of the stick . I think the shock deal is the ticket in fixing this . Actually my bottom bar is slightly bent from smacking the ground also . What's weird is I don't remember the dual bars ever smacking the ground like this and it shouldn't matter they both bolt to the housing ?? I dont have a real good shock yet just a single adjustable so we will see .

When I purchased the car the shocks were full loose so I put them back the same way, I can see where a stiffer shock setting would calm it down a bit.

Before good shocks were available, road race or dirt track 50/50 shocks were the answer. Very stiff.

Yeah, pretty much rode on the ground all the way down.

I could definately see a real traction issue if the shocks were to bottom out. I noticed a puddle in the trailer and one shock was all wet so it must be time. I ordered QA-1 shocks, not the best but hopefully they'll be up to the task.
