We were posting about this same topic the other night and Namvet keeps asking others to quote thier sorses, but can he post all his? Can he post WHY Chrysler put them on the cars when Ford and GM did not? He starts posting hostal right off the bat. Sounds like HES the one that needs to chill out. Post proof or please dont post. I dont want to start a fight, but lighten up. DaveJ
I keep asking for "sorses" ? .... what ???? .... when did I do that?
And I did post the reason why Chrysler put these on the OEM cars. Go back to the topic and read.
Hostal ? .... You sir have very thin-skin.
Post PROOF ? ..... of what ?
LOOK ....you Pro PS guys. Determine who the TOP five Mopar guys in Stock and SS eliminator(in the country) that run a leaf spring rear suspension.... and if the majority of these guys uses a pinion snubber.....
I will eat-CROW !
Oh-Tay ?
Start-a-fight ? ..... I ask you to OPEN your eyes Sir and READ ..... I said ..."If it works for you -- GOOD for you".

Welll ....neither do I ..... I "lost" mine in 70's !
It seems to have "disappeared" after I bought a set of budget SS spring back in the early 70's.
The last time I ran my 62(2003) ...... it went 12 teens with a 2.76 gear with a 7" DOT tire....thru the muffs with iron manifolds.
Saying "NO to a PS" seems to be wurkin' furrr me !

one what, opinion or snubber?
Both. 
Our cars are built to corner, not launch, although we'll be experimenting with mono-leafs & Cal-tracks next year.

Hmmmm.... but how would a PS at all hinder or restrict cornering abilities ? .... with or with-out a rear sway bar. And how about adding an "L" into that title ? ..

I took my pinion snubber off and clamped my springs. I went from 1.60 60ft to 1.43 60ft. this is with ss springs. Results do not lie.

just like anything else a misadjusted part can cause problems. it was probably set to close unloading the tires. or to far away doing nothing.

Thats one of the problems that I have seen with them. In one spot its to close and yes it unloads the tires, move it down one hole and it does nothing. Clamping the springs is what made the difference with my car.

So what I have done is wrong? Your saying that clamping the springs does not constitute trial and error, and that I did not try to make the p/s work? You are assuming a lot. Is a p/s the only way to make a ss spring car hook? Or maybe I am just not making enough power for a p/s to work correctly. There is more than one way to do things. A p/s is not always the answer.  Last time out at speedworld was back in June the high temp that day was 118 the car went [Email]10.64@126[/Email] 1.43 60ft.

I am not assuming nothing and what I said is not directed to you just a general statement. clamping the front segment is a good thing. most of the snubber nay sayers never took the time to get then working. either that or they don't have the proper pinion angle to begin with. just curious what is your pinion angle?

Directed at me or not you did quote me. Either way I did not take it personal.  I cannot speak about what others may or may not have taken the time to do. I do know that there is a lot of fast cars on this board so some of the nay sayers must be doing somthing right. Pinion angle is set at 5 down

and like you said theres more than one way to skin a cat. and for someone to make a broad statement like pinion snubbers don't work is totally untrue. because they don't work for one person doesn't mean they wont work for someone else.
