I have a 66 coupe with a 347 and clutchless Jerico 4-speed running on E-85. The car had ran for atleast 3 years launching with a C-4 on the brake and 5 leaf spring setup and no bars. This spring I converted to the Jerico and it was working well, until I had to tighten up the clutch because it was slipping on the dyno while tuning the new carb. To make a long story short I tried my luck launching without adding any type of tration bars unfortunately it was the same week they prepped the track better that any time I've been there. I ended up ripping the pinion and 3/4 of the third member out of the housing.
I'm going to make my own set of caltracs to use until I can afford to narrow the rear, mini tub it and hang it on ladder bars with coilovers.
My question is how do you mount the bellcrank so that you have clearance with the leaf spring being mounted to the side of the frame rail?
I'm needing to do this with in the next week or two because I'm hoping to be in the E-85 shootout that 5.0M&SF is having in mid Oct. So I'm trying to avoid having to relocate the spring mounts.
Any tips trick or pics will be greatly appreciated!
