    Wheel Hop..grr.

    Yup, now I'm the never ending quest to fit big tires. Rear end narrowing is on the way, any other ideas? Would it be possible to squeeze a 13" wide tire in somehow? And I was thinking today, lets say I got a fuel cell right, I could remove the rear deck temporarily, mini tub the wells, and weld...

    Need advice on mini tubbing

    Theres no hope? Then what kind of backspacing/offset would I need to fit 10" on it? I plan on shortening the rear end too, what is a good place to stop? I was thinking right at the brake plate?

    Wheel Hop..grr.

    I was going to get caltracs but I had these so I decided why not. I'm going to try and make my own clamps because I have the steel and bolts. I'll let you know how it goes!

    Wheel Hop..grr.

    Not to bring up a old thread. But I got the traction bars on and subframe connectors and I still experience wheel hop. I'm going for a wrong pinion angle. Anyone know what is a good angle or what it's supposed to be?

    Noisy Engine

    I've been driving my 66 for awhile now. I noticed a small noise coming from the engine compartment. It sounds like it's coming from the clutch. Like the bearing vibrating. Is it possible to have something vibrate loose? When I push the clutch in it gets a little quieter.. Any ideas?:shrug:

    Sputtering and Stumbling under accel

    If you stumbling under acceleration than you most likely are running lean. Same thing happened to me, stumbling in low speed good in higher speed. Changed to 1 stage rich on the carb and now it goes fast. :D

    Rear End Narrowing

    Ok, If I change to 9" ends, I'll still be able to use my brakes right? So if I do change the ends I can use regular axles? (well, ones that can be resplined) Narrowing sounds like a good idea to fix my problem right?

    Rear End Narrowing

    I have a 66 coupe. I have an 8.8 (yea yea I know), but it was a good price and is inbetween the 8in and 9 so it can handle what I need. The problem is the c-clip axles. Not anymore! I found mosers that are able to be shortened and resplined for c clips. I have a problem, which is why I...
