Now with the upper A arm level or poniting slightly up the camber won't dive so bad when the suspension drops. I'd add the Moog offset bushings in the front of the A-arm as well. As long as the upper arm location is correct it'll look like this.

I'll ask my Dad when he did the DB swap if he used the 73 Scamp upper arms...
What did the FMJ knuckles come in?
Thanks


They came in the Volare and the transverse
front end cars(the bars in front went across
the front end)
