How do I get a leaf spring car to hook up? - 09/08/10 07:03 AM
I'm putting a new combo in my '69 'Cuda. It's a 498 low deck, 12.3:1 B1 headed wedge. The car weighs 3000 with me and the small block in it now. I am running small block torsion bars in the front end and super stock springs in the back. The car is mini tubbed and runs 28x10 slicks. I have an 8 pt. cage and the subframes are tied. What do I need to do to get this thing to hook up. I would like to keep it leaf sprung and not go to a coil over setup in the front. There is a distinct possibility that I will put a blower on this motor and run it on alcohol with a little bit of boost. Why not right? I just want to get the car to hook up a majority of the time and not want to hit the wall every time I take it out. I've done that and I don't really want to make a habbit out of it. I appologise for my ignorance on this subject. My dad and I built this car when I was in high school 13 years ago and it's been sitting with the moth ball fleet since 2001. I haven't studied Mopars for quite a while and I thought you guys could help me out. Thanks
