Well i pulled the trigger went and ordered all my suspnsion finally got all in. Now i am looking to put all the power down. So here is what i am running...


Rear suspension
rear double adjustable upper and lowers with rotory joint deal(umi)
umi/viking double adjustable rear shocks
H and R rear sway bar

Front suspension
tubular upper and lower control arms(umi)
front coilover conversion(umi)
umi/viking double adjustable front shock


right now i have all the shocks set to drag setting,even on street. it rides a lil bouncy but thats okay.I am wondering more on pinion angle and getting it to hook. I have a trans brake that i want to use at track and would like to get hook on street without it.But if can hook on street with it i would be even happier. I run at 295 55 r 15 mickey drag radial on it all the time. Right now i have rear upper and lower bars set to stock length eye to eye. So a base pinion angle would be a good starting point for a street car?

-2 to -4 depending on hiems or bushings in rear controll arms.

HAS HEIMS UPPER AND LOWER,ONLY USE BUSHINGS IN REAR UPPER HOUSING. Also are you measuring front of shaft,and rear and comparing or just using rear angle.

-3* is a good starting point,,be sure the engine,,carb mounting surface is level,,before you do anything else,,if not it will never hook,,ask me how i know...

Rear of shaft to pinion. Should look like an upsidedown "V"
