Re: 68 chevelle suspention
street car huh, ok I'll play along.
My former Chevelle... Original, OEM, factory body panels Original, OEM, factory bumpers Original, OEM, factory glass Original, OEM, full factory interior ALL DOT requirements fully functional...horn, wipers, parking brake, driving, braking, directional and backup lights. All factory options fully functional...power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, tach/gauges, radio, rear window defogger, heater/defroster. Oh and the group 24 battery resides in the factory tray with the factory hold down, in the same location it rolled off the assemblyline Lastly registered, licensed, insured and saw thousands, upon thousands of street miles in addition to 5000 passes on the track when my name was on the title for 27 years. So what's your point? Back to the op's question... the one installed in my former Chevelle... and some 50+ GM A body stockers, bracket cars and street/strip cars throughout the country and Canada including this "cruise nite, strip thing, sleeper"... http://www.superchevy.com/features/1...er-to-student/ Last edited by 1320racer; 05-06-2016 at 06:58 AM. |

Re: 68 chevelle suspention
I'm no Ed fan, but I have no problems with heims on the street. A late model front wheel drive metric V6 is not my idea of a stocker either, but to some it is........Ed gets his 60s and weight confused with Joey Abbazia's.

Re: 68 chevelle suspention
Actually I do like old racers, Kip Martin was a close friend of mine. For me stock racing is about matching wits with other racers in a known class, example: A through P stock. Now, racing a metric, front wheel drive car and setting some obscure record with it is fine, but its not for me. I can tell you this, I'd have no problem sitting down at lunch and talking drag racing with Mark. BTW I kinda like Ed Wright as well.

No confusion about it, Abbezia's former chevelle didn't 60 foot 1.28 and it didn't weigh 3880 lbs. but my Chevelle did! Last edited by 1320racer; 05-07-2016 at 07:28 PM. |

Re: 68 chevelle suspention
My point for getting involved with this thread was to point out something.
If you are going to give advice to someone new, you probably ought to find out exactly what the poster intends to do with his car ,beforehand . That way, your advice will be more relevant to the topic. Of course ,a few just hear dog whistles, like 68 Chevelle, and have to post, no matter what. Here's Ed's old Chevelle ..Have you seen it before?
