Put a radial on it and enjoy going faster and not dancing around. I think its tire circumference since the only thing that has changed is the swapping in of a spool. Considering drag radials for my next tire purchase, my friends car launches like a fiend with them. Slicks don't bother me though, some walking around the track is just part of the experience in my opinion. If the rest of the car is tight it really should not be a huge problem.

What bearing did you use on new axels?
Did you use the green bearings or the taper? Green bearings on Strange axles.

I got the car up on jackstands yesterday and checked everything out. Looks like the rearend is in there straight, shackles and bushings on the leaf springs are tight, idler arm and pitman arm are tight. I don't know about the tires yet and I don't know if the housing is flexing or not.

Measure the rollout. Try adding some pressure just to see if it helps it. I like another 2-4psi in mine than what you do.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Measure the distance between the slicks front and back and see if there is any toe in or out. I bet it has always been bent.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

Another vote for adding 3-4 psi and see if it makes any difference. If nothing else it's free.
