    '66 suspension saga

    I've got 1" lowering springs on my 1970 and standard eye leafs in back and had same experience as 68dustin - albeit it was a 1970. But makes no sense why the car droped so much in front. Usually people complain that it sits too high in front even with 1" lowering springs. Because the old...

    Thinking of getting Nitrous - any suggestions?

    Carb have a 650 DP on it now. Mostly street - like to try at drag strip but would be far and few between. Like to stay under 500. I've got a c4 and 8" - both upgraded to handle more HP - but over 500 hp may be pushing it. Im guessing I'm getting 400/400 now
