65 Malibu rear control arm angle question

Tex013 · 07-08-2018, 08:30 PM

Hi ,
just trying to find some setup information for rear end in a 65 Malibu .
Has a Strange 9" bolt in . UMI adjustable upper bars , UMI fixed lower bars , 1"lowered UMI rear springs , Viking shocks .

Motor makes 460HP , 4800 stall vert , T400 , footbrake launch .

Currently :
upper bars are 9 degrees down
lower bars are 3 1/2 degrees up
pinion angle is 3 degrees down

Car has not been run yet . Is this a close enough to start point or way off base ?

Thanks in advance ,

Tex
