Am fighting traction issues 10.79 to 11.20 from 1 pass to the next (hook once, blow the tires off the next). Cant't seem to get consistency with a clutch adjustment - if I loosen it enough to hook, then I get the big slipStick car, stock springs, caltracs, total weight 3960 with driver, 28 x 10" tires, 4.10 gears, caltrac fronts, ranchos rear (got my hands on scales for a week)Can anyone tell me what an ideal weight distribution would be front to back, left to right?ThanksGreg

I don't know what the ideal weight distribution would be for your car but all of the stock Mopar A,B, and E bodys I have weighed had more weight on the front, 51 % + and the left front is the heavest, RF next and then left rear next to the lightest and the RR is the lightest. Ideally you will want the right rear to have 20 to 30 lbs more weight on it than the left rear and the more weight you can get on the rear the better I have two big RV marine batterys mounted behind the right rear tire and as closest to the rear bumper and outer fenderwell as I could get it on my street strip car. If you have bucket seats you can moved the drivers side closer to the trans. tunnel and as far back as is safest also Lots of ways to move weight, some are easy and some are not All cost time and money

Preload the right rear about 50 lbs. Your diagonal readings should come up 100 lbs heavier on the left front/right rear.
Sounds like shocks to me. It takes a pretty tight setting for a stick car. How is the rest of the car set up? Front? Front shocks? Length of rear shocks? They should have 2/3 of their travel left at rest.

I could see the wheels turning as you looked at my car on the scales.

I feel like I could have typed your exact post Greg.

Yep Tom, you did it! Now something more to figure out. Nothing like sitting there waiting for the light trying to decide what I'll do if it hooks and what I'l do if it doesn't

Very Very Nice cars by the way
